RE: How Accurate is Accurate Enough?
Hello,
Although calculators end results do rarely need 12 decimal places... they can requires 4 or 5... (think 1234,55)... Some calculations require a lot of intermediary steps where precision is VERY easily lost (unless the programmer is super careful). This is where the 12 decimal come into effect, they allow to give you an end result at 4 or 5 decimal places... Cyrille Although I work for the HP calculator group, the views and opinions I post here are my own. I do not speak for HP. |
