question for code pointer | was: Aw: Re: fuzzy rounding, roundoff, roundup(), et cetera.

hello @John Denker,

took some time but got it up and running, have to play with it and learn, looks very useful so far ... :-)

a question at you or others ... i'd like to try an attempt to get rid of 'zombie values', can anyone give my a short description which functions handele:

- keyboard input and string to double conversion,

- file read (spreadsheets) and string to double conversion,

- file read (csv, data streams and similar) and string to double conversion,

- when and how long doubles come in use?

would be very nice, thank you,

b.

Betreff: Re: fuzzy rounding, roundoff, roundup(), et cetera.

I coded a version of roundup(xx, pp)

It correctly handles all the tricky cases I know of, including:

ru 0.24999999999999997 16

ru 0.1250000001000003 16

ru 0.49999999999999997 16

ru 0.1 -15

It comes with a test harness, and an updated preliminary specification,

in my fpu_exceptions.c program.

See the "ru" and "ruspec" commands in particular.

Interested parties are invited to experiment with it.

If you find a case that doesn't seem to be handled correctly,

please let me know.
