⎕FPC - Floating Point Control

Z←⎕FPC returns the current value of the Floating Point Control precision.
Z is an integer scalar that represents the current value of the number of bits of precision used for Multiple-Precision Floating Point numbers.


⎕FPC←R sets the value of the Floating Point Control precision to R.
⎕FPC←⍬ sets the value of the Floating Point Control precision to its system default state.


The approximate number of digits of precision for a given value of ⎕FPC is about 10⍟2*⎕FPC. The value of ⎕FPC for a given required precision is about ⌈2⍟10*digits.

The minimum value for ⎕FPC is 1; the maximum value is the integer 1073741695 ←→ ¯129+2*30 ←→ 16b3FFFFF7F.

The system default value is 128.
