C/C++慎用浮点运算

第一个例子：对一个浮点数加N次，结果未必等于N倍的该数

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  cout << fixed;
  float result = 0.0;
  for(int loop_time = 1; loop_time < 1000000000; loop_time *= 10) {
    for (int i = 0; i < loop_time; i++) {
      result += 81.f;
    }
    std::cout << "loop time: " << loop_time << "\tresult: " << result << std::endl;
    result = 0.0;
  }

  return 0;
}

第二个例子：浮点未必满足结合律

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void add(float a, float b, float c, char *str) {
  float sum = 0.0;
  sum = a + c + b;
  printf("%s%f\n", str, sum);
  sum = a + b + c;
  printf("%s%f\n\n", str, sum);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  add(1.0, 6.66, -1.0, "e0: ");
  add(10.0, 6.66, -10.0, "e1: ");
  add(100.0, 6.66, -100.0, "e2: ");
  add(1000.0, 6.66, -1000.0, "e3: ");
  add(10000.0, 6.66, -10000.0, "e4: ");
  add(100000.0, 6.66, -100000.0, "e5: ");
  add(1000000.0, 6.66, -1000000.0, "e6: ");
  add(10000000.0, 6.66, -10000000.0, "e7: ");
  add(100000000.0, 6.66, -100000000.0, "e8: ");

  return 0;
}
