RE: REQUEST: Significant Digit Calculator
To avoid the loss of precision in examples like 5/2 =2 to 1 sigfig, one could keep the additional digits but indicate the possible limitation of accuracy visually (for example, by changing the colour, or using bold).
So 5/2 is 2.[/red]5 Or 0.625*1.0 is 0.6[/red]25 That avoids the inaccurate 2 but gives a reminder that the result may exceed the precision of the input values, where needed. Stephen Lewkowicz (G1CMZ) https://my.numworks.com/python/steveg1cmz |
