IEEE-754 floating-point precision: How much error is allowed?

The IEEE-754 standard requires that so called "basic operations" (which include addition, multiplication, division and square root) are correctly rounded . This means that there is a unique allowed answer, and it is the closest representable floating-point number to the so-called "infinitely precise" result of the operation.

In binary, the first 58 bits of the arbitrary precision answer is 1011111111111111111111110101010101111111111111111011010001...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
