Bug or feature? Message #1 Posted by Jostein Trondal on 3 Nov 2003, 11:05 a.m. HP49g+ v1.22 I have a function like this: << -> X 'FLOOR(pi/ASIN(1/X-1)))' >> f(2) should be 2, but the calc says its 1. Whats wrong here? -- Jostein Trondal

Whats wrong here?" I'm probably badly misinterpreting something, but Google's calculator says: pi / arcsin((1 / 2) - 1) = -6 Best regards from V.

Re: Bug or feature? Message #5 Posted by Arthur Drake on 5 Nov 2003, 1:28 a.m., in response to message #3 by Jostein Trondal Hmmm... Just a guess, but the calculator might compute pi/asin(1) as 1.99999999999 or so. Check what it returns when you omit the floor command.
