> As you said at the start, I wonder if it really matters in practice? It won't for me as I don't ever work with values accurate to that many decimal points. There's a solid argument for dropping any digits past your *least* accurate data point. It's kind of absurd to see results of 83.739% when the +- error is 3%. The .### is a bit misleading...makes it look more accurate than it has any point of being.
So, in my case, no, it won't matter. I think that the manuals do a good job of describing *and* explaining where data might come in/out a bit differently. Nothing was mentioned about the # of decimals on a real, so I thought I'd mention that I'd noticed something. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
