Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the number of internal digits used in the iPhone standard Calculator App but I'm not sure I'm doing it right.
By calculating 1/3 and removing all the visible digits I start seeing weird results after the 20th digit or so. I guess it's an artifact caused by the binary representation? Is there a way to infer the exact number of binary digits used? I guess it's 64 bits but I want to be able to test my guess.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!
