Details

The following floating-point number gets read in incorrectly: 2.2250738585072012e-308 It produces 2.225073858507201e-308. It should produce 2.2250738585072014e-308 instead, according to ECMA 9.3.1 and 8.5. The reason is that 2.225073858507201e-308 is really 2.2250738585072008890245868760858598876504231122409...e-308, while 2.2250738585072014e-308 is really 2.2250738585072013830902327173324040642192159804623...e-308. The latter is closer mathematically to the given 2.2250738585072012e-308. Waldemar
