NB. When looking at some of the 'Euler Project' problems NB. I came across the following: ]a=.50#'1' 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 x:".a 11111111111111110805019569335803527359330256945152 x:".50#'2' 22222222222222221610039138671607054718660513890304 x:".50#'3' 33333333333333332415058708007410582077990770835456 NB. I suspect that the limit of precision is related to NB. the fact that I have a 32 bit computer but, not knowing NB. much about the mechanics of the thing, I am intrigued by NB. the apparent reproducibility of the result (under both NB. Windows and Ubuntu linux) and on the relationship between NB. the first 16 digits and the remainder. NB. Can anyone enlighten me? NB. Is there any way of getting the 'correct' answer? NB. Suppose I want the first 50 digits of Pi?
