(this is my first J code)

I'm executing this to get the square root of 2:

x:%:x:2e100

I also tried:

<.((%:2)*10^100)

In both cases I'm looking for extended precision (100 places if J supports it).

In both cases it appears the digits take a left turn about 20 digits in -- they don't match publicly available resources on the web.

Is there something else I should be doing, or is there a limit to J's precision?

Thanks!

Geoff
