Priority: P3
Bug ID: 121307
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Range of values for variables of type Double and
Single are wrong
Severity: normal
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Component: Manuals
Product: documentation
In the help of OOo Basic, Pootle (¿?) and on the wiki Basic Guide
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Numbers, are listed
of erroneous form (or incorrect notation, or at least confusing in my opinion)
the values accepted by variables of type Single and Double.
** Wiki:
Single variables:
Single variables can store any positive or negative floating point number
between 3.402823 x 10<sup>38</sup> and 1.401298 x 10<sup>-45</sup>.
Correctly:
Single variables can store any positive floating point number between 1.401298
x 10<sup>-45</sup> and 3.402823 x 10<sup>38</sup>, or any negative floating
point number between -3.402823 x 10<sup>38</sup> and -1.401298 x
10<sup>-45</sup>.
Double variables:
Double variables can store any positive or negative floating point numbers
between 1.79769313486232 x 10<sup>308</sup> and 4.94065645841247 x
10<sup>-324</sup>
Correctly:
Double variables can store any positive floating point numbers between
4.94065645841247 x 10<sup>-324</sup> and 1.79769313486232 x 10<sup>308</sup>,
or any negative floating point numbers between -1.79769313486232 x
10<sup>308</sup> and -4.94065645841247 x 10<sup>-324</sup>
** In Spanish OpenOffice.org Basic Help, page "tipos de variables" (incorrect
notation also):
Single: Las variables simples pueden tener valores positivos o negativos desde
3,402823 x 10E38 a 1,401298 x 10E-45
Double:
Las variables dobles pueden tener valores positivos o negativos desde
1.79769313486232 x 10E38 a 4.94065645841247 x 10E-324
** In English Pootle (incorrect notation):
1.797 x 10E30
Correctly:
1.797 E30 or 1.797 x 10<sup>30</sup>
Note: <sup>superscript</sup>
Sorry for my English disastrous. I use Google translator :)
