c++ - Floating point equality and tolerances -

-

comparing 2 floating point number a_float == b_float looking trouble since a_float / 3.0 * 3.0 might not equal a_float due round off error.

what 1 fabs(a_float - b_float) < tol.

how 1 calculate tol?

ideally tolerance should larger value of 1 or 2 of least significant figures. if single precision floating point number use tol = 10e-6 should right. not work general case a_float might small or might large.

how 1 calculate tol correctly general cases? interested in c or c++ cases specifically.

this blogpost contains example, foolproof implementation, , detailed theory behind http://randomascii.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/comparing-floating-point-numbers-2012-edition/ 1 of series, can read more. in short: use ulp numbers, use epsilon numbers near zero, there still caveats. if want sure floating point math recommend reading whole series.

i have postgresql db number of tables. if query: select column_name information_schema.columns table_name="my_table"; i list of columns returned properly. however, when query: select * "my_table"; i error: (programmingerror) relation "my_table" not exist 'select *\n "my_table"\n' {} any thoughts on why can columns, can't query table? goal able query table. you have include schema if isnt public one select * <schema>."my_table" or can change default schema show search_path; set search_path my_schema; check table schema here select * information_schema.columns for example if table on default schema public both works ok select * parroquias_region select * public.parroquias_region but sectors need specify schema select * map_update.sectores_point

asp.net mvc - breakpoint on javascript in CSHTML? -

-
i have .cshtml file has javascript tag. within script tag have few lines of javascript. first line of javascript refers property in @viewbag. other javascript lines plain script without mvc related references. observation: can place breakpoints (visual studio 2015) on each of these javascript lines. however, breakpoints has white dot in center of breakpoint symbol (red circle) except line @viewbag reference (this particular line not have white dot in center). it seems breakpoint without white dot hit during run-time. question: can explain going on here? white dot mean? why plain red breakpoint line line hitting breakpoint? the visual studio debugger expecting debug actual server-side code within .cshtml file opposed client-side javascript within it. iirc, visual studio allow debug javascript code expected in internet explorer (and possibly edge), other browsers want use either third-party tool or developer tools (f12) within browser. an easy approach take advant...
