精确计算java中float和double的精度
[本文相关的代码放在github上。地址为：https://github.com/VigourJiang/StructuredFloat]
Java中double类型的格式基本遵循IEEE 754标准。
虽然数学意义上的小数是连续的。但double只能表示当中的一些离散点。把这些离散点组成的集合记为S。S的大小还是有限的。假设要保存的小数P刚好在集合S内，那么double类型就能精确的表示P；否则double类型只能从集合S中找一个与P近期的离散点P'取代P。
以上表述对于float也成立。IEEE 754中float和double的表示策略全然同样。差别只体如今各个字段（指数字段、小数字段）的bit数量不同。
也就是说。float和double都是不精确的，因此偶尔会有一些奇怪的事情发生：
double d = 1e16d;
double d2 = d +1.0d - d;
// 下面代码输出0.0，而不是1.0
System.out.println(d2);上述结果或许并不有趣。由于在学C语言的时候。你的老师就可能提醒过你。但有趣的是，float和double到底有多不精确？给定一个double d = XXX，与d最接近的另外两个double的数值是多少？
我用Java写了一个解析原始数据类型float和double的类StructuredFloat，给定一个float或者double数值P。它能够计算出与P的绝对值近期的、能够被float/double表示的浮点数。以下是使用方法：
double cur = 3.23d; // any valid double value
StructuredFloat sd = com.vigour.StructuredFloat.StructedFloatBuilder.buildDouble(cur);
StructuredFloat smaller = sd.absSmaller();
StructuredFloat bigger = sd.absBigger();
if(smaller != null){
double smaller_double = smaller.getBigDecimal().doubleValue();
// now you get the nearest double value whose absolute value is smaller
}
if(bigger!= null){
double bigger_double = bigger.getBigDecimal().doubleValue();
// now you get the nearest double value whose absolute value is bigger
}
以下是一些有趣的输出，能够看到，在1e16d附近double的精度就小于1了，在1e7f（一千万）附近。float的精度就等于1了，float果然难堪大用。
