  • I thought the highest number you could achieve was 011.01, is this not base 2?

  • @JerreauHenry This is base 10 being shown first to introduce the concept of floating point; we go to base-2 later; see all the videos in the playlist.

  • r u saying "true error"? E-sub-t?

  • good explanation.....but had a very hard time digesting indian accent

  • @jjjdeste edit: less than or equal .005

  • Assuming that the rounding works as intended, couldn't you make the statement stronger by saying the maximum error is always less than .005 (in this example of course)?

  • Truly thankful.

  • Thanks for the great videos! Very helpful!
