floating point - Range of magnitude for float in c programming language? -


in c programming language book dennis ritchie, mentioned "a float number typically 32-bit quantity, @ least 6 significant digits , magnitude between 10^-38 , 10^+38."

how possible since have 32-bits? shouldn't top limit 2^32? tried printing out float looping , multiplying float 10, 38 times , output 100000006944061730000000000000000000000.000000 . has keep track of sign , how storing in 32-bits?

see single-precision floating-point format details typical c float.

range of magnitude float in c programming language?

#include <float.h> printf("float magnitude range %e %e\n", flt_min, flt_max); // typical result // float magnitude range 1.175494e-38 3.402823e+38

how possible since have 32-bits?

typical float indeed store 232 different values. yet not distributed linearly logarithmically in linear groups.

223 different values in range [2-126 2-127)
...
223 different values in range [0.5 1.0)
223 different values in range [1.0 2.0)
223 different values in range [2.0 4.0)
...
223 different values in range [2127 2128)

and negative counter parts.
+/- zeros, small sub-normal numbers, +/- infinity , not-a-number

it has keep track of sign , how storing in 32-bits?

 1 bit sign  8 bits binary exponent 23 bits significant (with msbit implied 1) -- 32 bits

when printing float, 6 or (flt_dig, flt_decimal_dig) significant digits important.

printf("%.*e\n", flt_dig-1, flt_true_min); printf("%.*e\n", flt_dig-1, flt_min); printf("%.*e\n", flt_dig-1, acos(-1)); printf("%.*e\n", flt_decimal_dig - 1, nextafterf(flt_max, 0.0)); printf("%.*e\n", flt_decimal_dig - 1, flt_max);

output

1.40130e-45    // min sub-normal 1.17549e-38    // min normal 3.14159e+00    // pi 3.40282326e+38 // number before max 3.40282347e+38 // max

How to understand 2 main() functions after using uftrace to profile the C++ program? -

i trying uftrace profile following simple c++ program: #include <iostream> class { public: a() {std::cout << "a created" << std::endl;} ~a() {std::cout << "a destroyed" << std::endl;} }; int main() { a; return 0; } the profile result this: # uftrace a.out created destroyed # duration tid function 2.026 [ 4828] | __cxa_atexit(); [ 4828] | main() { [ 4828] | __static_initialization_and_destruction_0() { 89.397 [ 4828] | std::ios_base::init::init(); 0.768 [ 4828] | __cxa_atexit(); 93.029 [ 4828] | } /* __static_initialization_and_destruction_0 */ 94.425 [ 4828] | } /* main */ [ 4828] | main() { [ 4828] | a::a() { 11.104 [ 4828] | std::operator <<(); 10.825 [ 4828] | std::basic_ostream::operator <<(); 24.514 [ 4828] | } /* a::a */ [ 4828] | a::~a() { 0.978 [ 4828] | ...

c# - Update a combobox from a presenter (MVP) -

i using mvp in project, new in mvp. have 2 comboboxes. when select option in combobox, combobox should filled new data. this action in presenter. view 'view1' in presenter, , introduced combobox1 , combobox2 properties in 'view1', because need 'datasource', 'displaymember', 'valuemember' , 'refresh()' in method below. but, when using pattern, enough send property like public string combobox2 { { return combobox1.selectedvalue.tosstring(); } } into presenter not whole combobox. how can solve problem? public void onselectedindexchangedcombobox1() { if (view1.combobox1.selectedindex == -1) { return; } datatable dt = tools.getdatatable("a path"); var query = (from o in dt.asenumerable() o.field<string>("afield") == farmerview.combobox1.selectedvalue.tostring() orderby o.field<string>("anotherfield") select...

How to put a lock and transaction on table using spring 4 or above using jdbcTemplate and annotations like @Transactional? -

i trying put lock on table while writing on table , if happened in between roll-back . trying convert below code lock table test_g1 read; lock table test_g write; -- begin; start transaction; insert test_g1 values(143); insert test_g values(145); select * test_g1; select * test_g; rollback; select * test_g; unlock tables; how convert above code @transactional spring jdbctemplate code? @transactional(rollbackfor={dataaccessexception.class}) public void test(){ jdbctemplate.execute("insert test1 (id, nam) values (4, 'a')"); throw new dataaccessexception("error") { }; } here trying throw error, insert statement should rollback it's not happening . thanks edit-1 attaching code , doing in jdbcdaoimpl.java , mentioned problem comment above test() . app.java package com.cgiri.javabrains.spring4; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.autowired; import org.springframework.context.applic...
