| what is point of X=1.0D0*X+1.0D0*Y*W ? |

From: suzyw0ng@outlook.com Where X and Y are both real, and W is double precision. I presume they wanted extra precision for the arithmetic, but then it gets quantised back to 32-bit float. By the way, this code came from a large oil company with a team of programmers. --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
