Jul 29, 2024 at 0:17 comment added user284928 I really liked your answer and I learned a lot. But I'm a bit of a slob and I don't care much about perfectionism. I identified other errors than what you said in my code. As for the reciprocal function, what you say are two magic numbers, they are closely linked. The subtractive number does not work well for many numbers, and so the Newthon-Raphson method is used for refinement, that's all. This number is the same as the inverse: it only changes the ratio of the tests, it depends a lot on the sampling, you can test, certain numbers, if you remove the refinement, it gives a very wrong result.
