Use : NumberForm[1.602176462,10] to see the 10 digits. (Using InputForm, you'll see that Mathematica kept all the digits you wanted like you've done it) If you want to see automatically always 10 significant digits in your Notebook, type : $PrePrint=(NumberForm[#,10])& Meilleures salutations Florian Jaccard e-mail : jaccardf at eicn.ch -----Message d'origine----- De : Mike [mailto:M.P.Croucher at sheffield.ac.uk] Envoyé : mar., 21. mai 2002 09:36 À : mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Objet : [mg34447] Problem with Precision? Can anyone shed any light on why N[1.602176462,10] gives 1.60218 I need it to be as accurate as I can get it and 5 dp doesn't cut it. Any ideas? Thanks Mike
