In matlab if I write the following script I get a non-zero answer which is awkward, can somebody please explain this?
av = 6.022140857*10^23;
av_1 = 6.022140857e+23;
diff = av - av_1
The answer I get is
diff =
-67108864

because X*B^P performs two numeric operations on three floating point values and accumulates floating point error with each operation. XeP generates the value directly, without any numeric operations.
Because of this:
Or any of the thousand other threads explaining floating point errors and how they accumulate during numeric operations.
