floating point

基本解释

Why do you need separate macros for floating point comparisons?
为什么需要用单独的宏进行浮点数比较？
Floating point is a very similar concept, except that computers use binary rather than decimal as their base.
浮点是一个非常类似的概念，除了计算机使用二进制而不是十进制作为基础。
So both of these stories involve floating point values, but only in this case am I actually allocating memory.
所以这两个故事都涉及到浮点类型，但是只有那样我们才能真正地分配到内存。

"Some of the reports have made this point, that there is a new kind of violation floating around.
So both of these stories involve floating point values, but only in this case am I actually allocating memory.
所以这两个故事都涉及到浮点类型，但是只有那样我们才能真正地分配到内存。
