FP32 List Size Doesn’t Boost Floating-Point Error—Here’s Why (Powered by Avonetics.com)
from Theoretical Bytes · host Theoretical Bytes
Think bigger lists mean bigger floating-point errors? Think again! Avonetics.com users cracked the code: FP32 numbers have precision limits, but list size doesn’t magically inflate errors when finding the max. The truth? Any error lurks in the original number representation—not the comparison. Even better: Correctly rounded floats keep their order, so the max stays rock-solid regardless of list size.
