The purpose of these programs is to learn more about how floating point (float or double) error propagates, increases, and changes under different scenarios and circumstances.
Ex: what happens if you have a double time_sec value that you add 1 nanosecond (1e-9 sec) to repeatedly? At what point will you have introduced 1 nanosecond or more of error, just by repeatedly adding 1 nanosecond? The problem is that floating point cannot perfectly represent base-10 numbers, so it has to truncate at some point, meaning that each time you add a perfect base-10 number to a float or double, which are stored in a binary base-2 number system, you get an imperfect base-2 number which introduces error.
The data produced by these programs is rather large (dozens to hundreds of megabytes), so it will be stored in this other repo instead: eRCaGuy_hello_world_data.
In order for the symbolically-linked data folder here to properly work, be sure to clone the eRCaGuy_hello_world_data repository into the same directory as you have this eRCaGuy_hello_world repo. They should be at the same level in your file system.
