THE STATE OF COMPUTER """SCIENTISTS"""

it gets better:

It's just shitposting you autists.

Between ints, floats, longs and doubles, there are 64 ways to write c=(a+b)/2 and only 3 ways to get a correct result. If you're a dummie and dont know how to properly compose the question, you have a 61/64 chance of failing to get the desired result.

So again, only a math brainlet without any functional knowledge of coding as the practical application of math, would make this Veeky Forums thread.

damage control isn't going to work now, pal

Memes aside, how do you do this without overflows / floating-point inaccuracies?

>overflows
low + (difference / 2) guarantees no overflow
>floating-point inaccuracies
you don't because decimal numbers can't always be represented in non-repeating binary so you just repeat it as much as possible

nice
