Weirdly though it wasn’t remotely close to the right answer so I don’t think it was floating point malarkey. I always assumed some defect but I guess we’ll never know.now I wish I had kept it so I could have sent it to Matt Parker for his calculator reviews
Ah floating point math. Works fine for 90% of use cases, until it doesn’t.
Hmm really? It’s always worked for 90.0001741894164% of use cases for me
You got an audible chuckle from me on that one
Better calculators just use floating point math with a few tricks on top to pretend it isn’t floating point math.
