:Hmm, and wouldn't it potentially loose less precision if you sorted on absolute values and summed from the smallest absolute value up? We could hope that people read the talk page before using code snippets? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 16:07, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 
:: I suppose in a "moving average" you can't sort operands, unless you store them, and doing so has not so good implications. I suppose also that investigating the limits of IEEE floating point is not the focus of the task. Users run code on RC at their own risk! --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 15:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
