With those, I can produce a long integer but not using the sum function. Maybe is the funtion itself producing floats? As I wrote above, it returns exact values when fed exact inputs and executed in exact mode with flag -3 clear. If that doesn't work for you, perhaps you have an obsolete firmware version? The most recent VERSION is 2.15. Or maybe you have some other conflicting flag(s)? EDIT: The ROM version can't be the problem, because I just tried it on an ancient 49G (version 1.19-6) and it works ok there too.

Not true, at least in VERSION 2.15. This is interesting... I gotta know why some 50g's can't return exact values for the Sigma function. "Yes, it's puzzling. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before." -- HAL 9000 <0|ΙΈ|0> -Joe- |
