Yesterday I calculated the value of four to 10,000 places behind the decimal. This is what I got: 4.000000000000000000000000000000000000000{9950 more zeros}00000000000 I would have calculated it farther, but my problem crashed. I got a foredump. Dave Van Ess John Fluke Mfg Co Everett WA

I calculated the value of four to 10,000 places and what I got was: 4.000000000000000000000000000000000000000{9950 more zeros}00000000003 I think your algorithm must be in error. I don't understand what you could have done wrong. I hope this helps. terry mason
