int computation.
The range of a 64-bit number is roughly <span class="math inline">\(\pm 2^{1022}\)</span>, which is
slightly larger than <span class="math inline">\(\pm 10^{307}\)</span>. It is a good idea to stay well
away from such extreme values in Stan models as they are prone to
cause overflow.</p>
<p>64-bit floating point representations have roughly 15 decimal digits
of accuracy. But when they are combined, the result often has less
accuracy. In some cases, the difference in accuracy between two
