Jean-Yves,
sin(x - n*pi)
So now the problem can be how these large numbers are obtained
--> a=1e16+1
--> a-1e16
of course equals zero.
Yes, I've thought about it and you are right, above 1e16 x is so
sparse, cycle-wise speaking, that my original intention doesn't make
much sense.
MPScilab <https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/MPScilab> is an external
module available up to Scilab 5.3 -- not recompiled since then --
allowing *arbitrary precision computations* for a short list
<http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/mpscilab/source/tree/master/mpscilab/help/en_US>
of the mathematical functions.
sin() is not in the list, but exp() is.
Sorry: all trigonometric functions are supported. I have just missed the
dedicated section where they are addressed.
