CDBL
Revision as of 04:16, 7 September 2009 by imported>Clippy
Purpose: To convert x to a double-precision number.
Syntax: CDBL(x)
Comments: x must be a numeric expression.
Example:
- A=454.67
- PRINT A; CDBL(A)
- 454.67 454.6700134277344
- Prints a double-precision version of the single-precision value stored in the variable named A.
- The last 11 numbers in the double-precision number have no meaning in this example, since A was previously defined to only two-decimal place accuracy.
Note
