adding single precision 32 bit floats and there are 1 billion values equal to 1 1 billion and one value equal to 1. If the.. 32 bit floats and there are 1 billion values equal to 1 1 billion and one value equal to 1. If the 1 comes first then the sum.. the 1 comes first then the sum will come to 1 since 1 1 1 billion is 1 due to loss of precision. Each addition has no effect at..

answered this question which asked why iterating until 10 billion in a for loop takes so much longer the OP actually aborted it.. actually aborted it after 10 mins than iterating until 1 billion for i 0 i 10000000000 i Now my and many others' obvious answer.. the iteration variable being 32 bit which never reaches 10 billion and the loop getting an infinite loop. But though I realized..
