Hello,
I was trying this code:
float_to_binary(2.7182818284590452354, [{decimals, 14}, compact]).
And I've realized that in OTP 19.3 I have this value:
<<"2.71828182845905">>
While in OTP 20.3 I've this other value:
<<"2.71828182845904">>
Even I was checking since OTP 17 until OTP 20.3 and looks like the
change was in OTP 20.3 only. Why this change? Was it not correct in the
previous versions or is it not correct now?
Thanks.
Manuel Rubio.
