    This document discusses two potential problems that can occur due to changes in how floating-point numbers are represented. The first problem is that rounding errors may occur due to the limited precision of floating-point numbers. The second problem is that operations on floating-point numbers are not always associative, so calculations can produce different results depending on the order operations are performed.
