@ -157,7 +157,7 @@ Why is that? 1/10 is not exactly representable as a binary fraction. Almost all
machines today (November 2000) use IEEE-754 floating point arithmetic, and
almost all platforms map Python floats to IEEE-754 "double precision". 754
doubles contain 53 bits of precision, so on input the computer strives to
convert 0.1 to the closest fraction it can of the form *J*/2\*\**N* where *J* is
convert 0.1 to the closest fraction it can of the form *J*/2**\ *N* where *J* is
an integer containing exactly 53 bits. Rewriting ::
1 / 10 ~= J / (2**N)
