(Free42) roundoff for complex SQRT
Nitpicking, perhaps, but if the original 42S gets it right - then so should Free42 ;-)
Try SQRT(a+ib) with a=0 and b/2 a perfect square eg. b=8 Free42 shows 2+i2, which SHOW reveals to be really 2+i(2-1E-33). Almost any b you throw at it has a rounding error like that, in the real or complex part. The 12-digit 42S gets the exact result - it must have special code for a=0, and return SQRT(ABS(b)/2)*(1+i*SIGN(b)) in that case - even when b/2 would underflow. Cheers, Werner 41CV†,42S,48GX,49G,DM42,DM41X,17BII,15CE,DM15L,12C,16CE |
