Please note that floating point calculations are not infinitely accurate.
If you use extremely huge and/or (specially and) extremely small values,
your calculations will become very inaccurate.

  This effect can be seen quite easyly with a mandelbrot zoomer program
(which doesn't support unlimited floating point calculations, like fractint
does). Just zoom very large and you will see what I'm talking about.

):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
