There may be some properties like density of water = 999.8675 Kg/m^3 which might be required to be correct to 4th decimal place. So IMO we should have 10 significant digits( 6digits before decimal and 4 after ) to avoid any discrepancy in future-requirements. -- Thanks Albert www.coderalbert.wordpress.com https://github.com/albertcoder/ " You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice.
