And two consecutive inexact operations lead to a different result than a single one. Typically expressed as multiple of Float fmin in base 2, 2r1011*Float fmin shifted by -3 with round to nearest, tie to even mode: -> round(1.011) -> 1.0 = fmin But if first shifted by -2 then by -1: -> round(10.11) -> 11.0 = 3*fmin -> round(1.1) -> 10.0 = 2*fmin Or first shifted by -1 then by -2: -> round(101.1) -> 110.0 = 6*fmin -> round(1.1) -> 10.0 = 2*fmin A naive implementation that split the shift uncarefully might fail to handle such case correctly." | f | f := 2r1011 asFloat.
