How does Julia handle numerical precision and floating-point behavior?

Julia follows IEEE 754 standards for floating-point arithmetic with strict control over precision types.

Julia uses Float32 and Float64 based on IEEE 754. Floating-point operations are not exact due to rounding errors, and order of operations can affect results. Julia provides tools like BigFloat for arbitrary precision. The compiler does not reorder floating-point operations aggressively unless optimization flags allow it, ensuring predictable numerical behavior in scientific computing.
