LOL! Man I learned that in college and never used it ever again. I never came across any scenarios in my professional career as a software engineer where knowing this was useful at all outside of our labs/homework.
Anyone got any example where this knowledge became useful?
If you’re doing any work with accounting, or writing test cases with floating point values.
Please tell me you aren’t using floating points with money
Knowing not to use floating point with money is good use of that knowledge.
