RE: WP 34S and 31S bugs and fixes
I've noticed some inconsistencies in how exponents can be entered in single precision mode and on the 31S:
A. Keep it simple: exponents up to +/- 384 are allowed. No digits are lost even with e-384 because the 12 digits you can enter always fit into the 16 digit mantissa as a denormalized number. B. Figure out the precise maximum based on the number entered and only allow exponents that will neither result in infinities or domain errors, nor in entered digits lost. Walter, since this is a user interface issue with no obvious "best" solution, please make a decision on how it should be handled. I don't mind creating a slightly different third patch if necessary. |
