Explain double precision in a few words.
Please write in programming language C
a) What is "Approximation Error" in floating-point representation?
Approximation Error - Since in floating point representation we can not represent all real numbers so there occurs an error.It is difficult to represent some decimal numbers in binary form.
b) Why is it happening?
Floating point Approximation error occur because it uses fixed no. of bits to represent decimal numbers.
It is difficult to represent real numbers with the help of fixed bits of binary numbers. Also some decimal numbers are difficult to represent in binary form.
c) How can we minimize it? We can minimise it by-
1.Changing radix
2.Adding numbers of different magnitude value.
3.overflow
4. underflow
5.Subtracting numbers of same magnitude value.
