What is 2 + 2?

[flying_chair]

Hey, Pssst, Click on 'Spoiler'!

ITS 1337!

[Guest GroundHOG-2010]

Whats 1+1

10

Or whats A+A

20

[hachiman]

Nooooooooo, it\'s over 9000.

[your mom]

:-[ :-[

im just confused

but whats 2334532.2344324.234324.4545 + 43557.234;45657.62124345.4363464 ?

NOTHING!

[Altair1371]

2+2=100 IN BINARY!

[Epsilon]

24

But hey... wanna know something even funnier than 24?

NOTHING!

Its 2.

[Guest GroundHOG-2010]

Its 2.

No its imposible, so therefore nothing. Because you can\'t have more than one decimal place.

On a slightly related note, Its Decimalception. (Decimal of a decimal).

The answer is 1337, obviously.

The answer is 1337, obviously.

I figured it\'d be i.

[icefire]

sqrt(sqrt(9^2+19^2/22))

[Luigibro606]

The answer to life, the universe, and everything is...

42

^Lies

[Volt]

sqrt(sqrt(9^2+19^2/22))

Pi?

2 + 2 can equal 5 if your display uses rounding and displays integers.

2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8

Displayed with integer rounding you get

2 + 2 = 5

Always make sure your display format is sufficient for your values!

Arrr!

2 + 2 can equal 5 if your display uses rounding and displays integers.

2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8

Meh. 2.5 + 2.5 works in this instance just as well, and is *actually* 5.

While your example provides a correct result, I was pointing out that you can get an incorrect result.

Arrr!

It\'s only incorrect if you have significant digits behind the decimal point. Which you don\'t, if all you have is a display showing integers.

You totally missed my point. It\'s possible to use a display format and rounding to make 2 + 2 look like it equals 5. Hence my suggestion to always make sure your display method is appropriate for the values you are displaying. In programming, the variable types used need to be displayed appropriately if you want accuracy.

You totally missed my point. It\'s possible to use a display format and rounding to make 2 + 2 look like it equals 5.

Fun fact: It *does* equal 5, after all you can round it to 5 no problem (and your language of choice should have a round() method of some sort). It only doesn\'t equal 5 when you have significant digits behind the decimal point.

If it is the expected result, that\'s between you, your users, and your unit tests.

Hence my suggestion to always make sure your display method is appropriate for the values you are displaying. In programming, the variable types used need to be displayed appropriately if you want accuracy.

If you want accuracy in maths, you use something like Mathematica or Maple, since the IEEE 754 standard is inherently inaccurate.
