Hi
I tested an iMac running under OS X 10.3.4 with one GHz processor speed. I used the following:

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
float b = 1;
int index = 0;

while( b > 0 )
{
b = b / 10;
index++;
};
std::cout << "Number of decimal places: " << index << "\n";
return 0;
}

The result was 46 decimal places. My computer can process only 16.
What is the advantege of iMac as far as the number of decimal places is concerned?
