The "#-)" simply is a kind of *facepalm*: of course I agree that it does not make any sense to generate a 34-digit value by dividing two 17-digit numbers. This simply reminded me of a program I saw somewhere (can't remember where exactly it was) where indeed a numeric value was replaced with a fraction that required more digits and thus more program steps than coding the value directly.

Just imagine a big question mark above my head. ;-) (06-07-2018 10:39 PM)Valentin Albillo Wrote: I said "almost". Rounded to 8 significant digits Pi is 3.1415927 while 355/113 is 3.1415929, so the 8th digit is just 2 ulps off (out of a possible 10) so my "almost" is more than justified. OK, let's agree to disagree on this. (06-07-2018 10:39 PM)Valentin Albillo Wrote: Sorry to have ruffled your feathers. No problem – no ruffling has occured. Dieter |
