language agnostic - Is floating point math broken? - 


0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3 -> false 
0.1 + 0.2 -> 0.30000000000000004

why happen?

binary floating point math this. in programming languages, based on ieee 754 standard. javascript uses 64-bit floating point representation, same java's double. crux of problem numbers represented in format whole number times power of two; rational numbers (such 0.1, 1/10) denominator not power of 2 cannot represented.

for 0.1 in standard binary64 format, representation can written as

  • 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625 in decimal, or
  • 0x1.999999999999ap-4 in c99 hexfloat notation.

in contrast, rational number 0.1, 1/10, can written as

  • 0.1 in decimal, or
  • 0x1.99999999999999...p-4 in analogue of c99 hexfloat notation, ... represents unending sequence of 9's.

the constants 0.2 , 0.3 in program approximations true values. happens closest double 0.2 larger rational number 0.2 closest double 0.3 smaller rational number 0.3. sum of 0.1 , 0.2 winds being larger rational number 0.3 , hence disagreeing constant in code.

a comprehensive treatment of floating-point arithmetic issues what every computer scientist should know floating-point arithmetic. easier-to-digest explanation, see floating-point-gui.de.

php - failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request -

this code i'm using find latitude , longitude of place: function coords($address){ echo $url="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".$address; $json = file_get_contents(urlencode($url)); $data = json_decode($json, true); print_r($data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat']); print_r($data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng']); } however returns warning: failed open stream: http request failed! http/1.0 400 bad request if use above code in simple procedure works fine not in function. note: have tried curl_init()... method produced same result? instead of encoding whole url encode address part. following code work fine $add='jamshoro phase 2'; $url="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".urlencode($add); $json = file_get_contents($url); $data = json_decode($json, true); print_r($data['r

java - How to filter a backspace keyboard input -

i have code gives message when key number pressed: txtvalueofclause.addeventfilter(keyevent.key_typed, new eventhandler<keyevent>() { @override public void handle(keyevent t) { char ar[] = t.getcharacter().tochararray(); char ch = ar[t.getcharacter().tochararray().length - 1]; if (!(ch >= '0' && ch <= '9')) { system.out.println("the char entered not number"); t.consume(); } } }); now if press on wrong button , press backspace remove it, error message. how can add backspace input if statement? i have found answer: txtvalueofclause.addeventfilter(keyevent.key_typed, new eventhandler<keyevent>() { @override public void handle(keyevent t) { char ar[] = t.getcharacter().tochararray(); char ch = ar[t.getcharacter().tochar

java - Show Soft Keyboard when EditText Appears -

i have code in android app, alert dialog , keyboard, , when dialog shown want keyboard appear. not , not sure why? here code: final alertdialog.builder alert = new alertdialog.builder(this); alert.settitle("title"); alert.setmessage("message"); final edittext input = new edittext(this); input.setinputtype(inputtype.type_class_number); alert.setview(input); input.setonfocuschangelistener(new view.onfocuschangelistener() { @override public void onfocuschange(view v, boolean hasfocus) { if (hasfocus) { log.i(tag, "in focus"); inputmethodmanager inputmethodmanager = (inputmethodmanager) getsystemservice(context.input_method_service); inputmethodmanager.showsoftinput(input, inputmethodmanager.show_implicit); } } }); but keyboard not appear though edit text in focus, , tell appear why, doesn't come up? thanks in advance.
