SetPrecision
 Usage
Notes
 Further Examples
Here is a machine-precision approximation to  .
In[1]:=
|
Out[1]=
|
You can increase the precision to  .
In[2]:=
|
Out[2]=
|
The additional digits are  in base  , not in base  . Mathematica uses base  internally to represent numbers.
In[3]:=
|
Out[3]//BaseForm=
|
You can also lower precision to create machine numbers.
In[4]:=
|
Out[4]=
|
In[5]:=
|
Out[5]=
|
In[6]:=
