Higher precision: can one get it?
Hi All,
I demonstrating the approximation of Pi by successively computing the perimeters of regular inscribed polygons with 2^n sides. Excel's precision was overwhelmed at about 4000 sides. Is there any way to get "double precision"? If worse comes to worse, I'll use something like BigDecimal in Ruby or Perl to get greater precision. -- Regards, Richard |
