Hi,
sorry I looked into the manual but I cannot find a solution:
(%i74) 0.0017;
(%o74) 0.0017
(%i75) 0.00017;
(%o75) 1.7000000000000001E-4
why is the second example displayed like that? I guess it has something
to do with the floating point precision, but i would like to prevent it,
I don't care about any loss of precision.
I mean, I'd like that 0.00017 results either in 0.00017 (exactly the
same) or 1.7E-4
Thank you very much
MF
