Double In C
when i was running my excutable file, i got this error pow: OVERFLOW error here is the power function i used to calculate the varible: Code: int i; for(i = 1; i <= approximation; i++){ pi += pow(12, 0.5)*pow(-1, i+1)/((2*i - 1)*(pow(3, i-1))); } any ideas? the error only occur when i pass a large number (over 1000) for approximation, and it runs for a few seconds and in the end it still will print out the correct answer, im just wondering should this be a big deal?

What value is approximation? 11-04-2008 #3 skyt View Profile View Forum Posts Registered User Join Date Nov 2008 Posts 14 Originally Posted by master5001 I would imagine an overflow took place. What value is approximation? when i enter 100 or 200 etc the error wouldnt occur, but when i use anything over 1000, it will occur. however, for the other method of mine, Code: int i; for(i = 1; i <= approximation; i++){ pi += 4*pow(-1, i+1)/(2*i-1); } i passed 40million for approximation and no such error occured 11-04-2008 #4 matsp View Profile View Forum Posts Kernel hacker Join Date Jul 2007 Location Farncombe, Surrey, England Posts 15,677 I suspect that is caused

of integer overflow. All digits are set to the maximum 9 and the next increment of the white digit causes a cascade of carry-over additions setting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow all digits to 0, but there is no higher digit to change to a 1, so the counter resets to zero. This is wrapping in contrast to saturating. In computer programming, an integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation attempts to create a numeric value that is too large to be represented within the available storage space. For in c example, taking the arithmetic mean of two numbers by adding them and dividing by two, as done in many search algorithms, causes error if the sum (although not the resulting mean) is too large to be represented, and hence overflows.[1] The most common result of an overflow is that the least significant representable bits of the result are stored; overflow error in the result is said to wrap. On some processors like graphics processing units (GPUs) and digital signal processors (DSPs), the result saturates; that is, once the maximum value is reached, any attempt to increase it always returns the maximum integer value.

Typical binary register widths include: 8 bits: maximum representable value 28 − 1 = 255 16 bits: maximum representable value 216 − 1 = 65,535 32 bits: maximum representable value 232 − 1 = 4,294,967,295 (the most common width for personal computers as of 2005[update]), 64 bits: maximum representable value 264 − 1 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 (the most common width for personal computers, but not necessarily their operating systems, as of 2015[update]), 128 bits: maximum representable value 2128 − 1 = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,455 Since an arithmetic operation may produce a result larger than the maxi
