      Apple Swift version 3.0.1 (swiftlang-800.0.58.6 clang-800.0.42.1)

      Description

      The string representation of a Double incorrectly uses scientific notation for large integers that are still within the range that can be precisely represented using a Double. This happens at some point between 1 << 49 and 1 << 50.

      Example:

        1> Double(1 << 50)
$R0: Double = 1125899906842624
  2> Double(1 << 50).ulp
$R1: Double = 0.25
  3> print(Double(1 << 50))
1.12589990684262e+15
