I'm working on an application where users can create their own equations using different math functions, like, sqrt, log, pow, exp, etc. and app calculates them with the provided values and displays the result. User also has the option to select the number of digits they want to round the result to. I'm using 'Double' data type and having precision issues with some of the equation results. Below are some examples: Example1: let a = 0.2 let b = 0.1 let result = a + b print(result) Printed result: 0.30000000000000004 Expected result: 0.3 Example2: let a = 9.495 let b = 0.2 let result = a + b print(result) Printed result: 9.694999999999999 Expected result: 9.695 Once they calculate the equation there is a requirement to match the result with the provided text. Which in the above cases fails. One of the solutions is to use the “Decimal” data type, but math functions like square root and log are not available for the Decimal data type. Please let me know if there is any way to resolve these issues by continuing to use “Double”. Or please help in writing a custom implementation for all math functions for ‘Decimal’, or could you inform us if Apple has any plans to make the calculator Apis available for developers? Thanks in Advance.
