iPad vs. PC #319

This is just curiosity: I ran a Python program on my windows PC, and then, for some reason, exactly the same program on my iPadPro (year 2020?) with Carnets Plus. Essentially this is solving a complicated ODE. While the iPad took about 60% more time to run it than the PC, the results of CarnetsPlus are more accurate. My question: Is the internal representation of floating point numbers more accurate on an iPad thzan on a windows PC? Thanks for any information!

NB: The reason I re-ran it on my iPad was this: I wanted to have the program with the results (matplotlib plots and an animation) on the iPad. So I ran it on the PC, and copied this file from the PC to the iPad (using a memory stick and the app FileBrowser). While Carnet Plus showed the plots just fine, it did not show the animation for some reason.
