Golang 的精度问题 big.Float

Question

我遇到了一些有趣的 Golang big.Float 计算问题。

问题是

10001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100015.5533 / 10000000000000000000

= 10001000100010001000100010001000.1000100010001000155533

However, big.Float gave "10001000100010001000100010001000.10001000100010001555329999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999997"

代码：

var prec uint = 1024 // 512
dec, _ := new(big.Float).SetPrec(prec).SetString("1000000000000000000")
f, _ := new(big.Float).SetPrec(prec).SetString("10001000100010001000100010001000100010001000100015.5533")
q := f.Quo(f, dec)

fmt.Printf("Percision: %d\n", prec)
fmt.Printf("Quotient: %s\n", q.Text('f', -1))

结果：

Percision: 1024
Quotient: 10001000100010001000100010001000.10001000100010001555329999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999997

更令人困惑的是，如果我设置 prec = 512，一个更小的精度，它却产生了正确的结果。

Percision: 512
Quotient: 10001000100010001000100010001000.1000100010001000155533

有谁知道我的代码有什么问题或如何配置 big.Float 以获得预期结果？

感谢大家！

来自go doc math/big.Float：

A nonzero finite Float represents a multi-precision floating point number

sign × mantissa × 2**exponent

with 0.5 <= mantissa < 1.0, and MinExp <= exponent <= MaxExp.

并且 SetPrec 设置尾数的位宽而不是一些小数精度。

与 float64s 一样，并非每个十进制数都可以在 big.Float 中精确表示，您的代码显示了这一点。 prec=512 你看到你期望看到的是由于不同的舍入和打印。

经验法则：big.Floats 表现得像 "normal" 浮点数，但有其所有缺点（这里不是每个小数都可以表示）但可能显示较少的舍入错误。
