Chapter 1, Problem 4D

Explanation of Solution

Storing values in the computer:

  • The computer will not store the exact values of certain numbers. Rather they store an approximate value.
  • For example, the value 0.1 might be stored as 0.10000000000000000555 and in certain situations the approximate values do not create any problems.
  • The chaotic behaviour exhibits unpredictability and extreme sensitivity of the initial values.
  • If the computer takes approximate values without giving importance to exact value, it might pose problem.

Areas where the chaotic behaviour poses problem:

When trying to multiply a number with larger number...
