RE: Casio FX-602P vs fx-4000P, different results
Hello!

Could it be, that the FX-602P (don't have one in my collection (yet) so can't try it out myself) has a display formating function similar to "DSP" on the HPs?

When I perform the operation above on an HP-67 (for example) then I will get 2.00 in the default DSP 2 setting wheras it shows 1.999999999 in DSP 9.

And I agree with those who have written above that 2 is not the correct answer. If you calculate the trajectory of a Saturn probe with a calculator (or rather a computer) that comes up with 2 for the square of 1.414213562 then your probe is going to miss Saturn by a very wide margin...

Regards
Max
