⎕FPC - Floating Point Control
|
||||
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.
For example:

Whereas, according to Wolfram Alpha, the exact value to 230 digits is
2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995957496696762 ➥ 7724076630353547594571382178525166427427466391932003059921 ➥ 8174135966290435729003342952605956307381323286279434907632 ➥ 3382988075319525101901157383418793070215408914993488...
