Just read your C# numerical programming post. Shouldn’t the line “The C constant DBL_EPSILON is the smallest positive double precision number x such that 1 + x does not equal x,” read, “The C constant DBL_EPSILON is the smallest positive double precision number x such that 1 + x does not equal __1__” ?

I made the same typo on my blog and corrected it there, but I forgot to correct it in the Code Project article. Thanks for letting me know.
