Amazingly, it is almost the same as original! 2.0899 digit per iteration However, accuracy is less by 0.4180 digit, compared with non alternating sum. Cost per loop is a lot smaller though. Code: OPTION ARITHMETIC DECIMAL_HIGH Note: I did not add the b initial correction, for fair comparison. n = 100 Accurate digits = 210.27025201561072 n = 101 Accurate digits = 212.36014715889508 n = 102 Accurate digits = 214.45004193935936 n = 400 Accurate digits = 837.2346060430264 n = 401 Accurate digits = 839.32448364856168 n = 402 Accurate digits = 841.41436124813102 For n=478, it almost reached 1000 digits full precision (1 ULP error, last digit = 8 instead of 9) |
