I believe we all understand each other perfectly. Actually, you will see similar with every programming language displaying any float with format which overestimate its actual precision. Usually, basic display format is regarding its precision. In that case displaying "3.1415926535897824578569270670413970947265625" for 48-bits mantissa float is overestimate, inaccurate, impractical and confusing for people expecting correctly rounded value. After I have looked at Joe's function, I have noticed it is used basic algorithm without any rounding mechanism and formatting regarding current CAS settings, or user parameters. Perhaps few more tweaks are needed only in order to make it more flexible. |
