[Boost-users] A question on the preciseness of the double used in MTL. Can anyone with kindness help me?

I am using MTL(Matrix Template Library) for Matrix computing in Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0 and updated the gcc version from 3.2 to 4.4.1 by installing tdm-mingw-1.908.0-4.4.1-2 and the boost version is 1.37.0. The system is Windows xp The sample code is :

 

#include <boost/numeric/mtl/mtl.hpp>

 

#include "boost/random/normal_distribution.hpp"

#include <boost/random.hpp>

#include <boost/random/uniform_real.hpp>

 

 

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

    using namespace mtl; using namespace mtl::matrix;

    

    const unsigned n= 5;

    dense2D<double>                            A(n, n), B(n, n);

    morton_dense<double, doppled_64_row_mask>  C(n, n), D(n, n);

    

    dense2D<double>                            F(n, n), E(n, n);

    hessian_setup(A, 3.0); hessian_setup(B, 1.0); 

hessian_setup(C, 2.0); hessian_setup(D, 11.0);

B(1,1)=9.9999;

..........................

    std::cout << "The matrices are: B=\n" << B <<"\n"; 

    std::cout << "The result is  " <<1.0/3.0 <<"\n";

¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.

But the result is shown that B(1,1) is 10, and 1.0/3.0 is 0.33.

How can I get the highest precision of the type double and dense2D<double> for scientific computation?

The same question occurred in random number generation in boost random library.

Can anyone with kindness help me?
