0.1 is a number that can be exactly represented by a Float16, or Float32, or a Float64. (at least according to how we print them) But not it would seem (at least according to printing) by a BigFloat. julia> parse(Float64, "0.1") 0.1 julia> parse(Float32, "0.1") 0.1f0 julia> parse(Float16, "0.1"…

Are BigFloats unable to exactly represent 0.1?
