Probably -4*10-10 :) Another funny thing is: Enter sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(1.000000001))) and you've 1 in the display. Then calculate this Result^1e10. I wonder if 1^1e10=3.000...(on my Casio) is what you call intuitive ;) Unfortunatly I don't use calculators that much any more, but during my school time I knew a lot of waysto crash, fool or whatever calculators. During school time we had one (was in the 90s, a simple Casio) which could be send into an endless loop with some easy calculation, I don't remember how though :(. While doing this, it turned off the display and looked off, but sucked a lot of power because it was still calculating. Guess what we prefer to do with the teacher's calculator, he never got an idea why the batteries of his caluclator were permanently empty :) > If remember well some Casio calculators > also have a button to truncate the internal digits. > _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
