I have found that when doing the calculation when running: pow(1 + 1/100000000000000, 100000000000000) = 2.716110034087023 pow(1 + 1/1000000000000000, 1000000000000000) = 3.03503520654962 This is incorrect as the following is a well known way to calculate Euler's number. I do not know what component is the cause so I just picked one. |

This error happens in Google's search too which means that Google is using Python server-side and some how this hasn't been addressed. |

This is a limitation of binary floating point, please see https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html |

You'll see much the same in every programming language that supports your computer's floating-point hardware. Start by reading this gentle introduction: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html This bug tracker isn't a place for tutorials, though, and understanding floating-point deeply is a massive undertaking. |
