$MaxPrecision

Usage

$MaxPrecision gives the maximum number of digits of precision to be allowed in arbitrary-precision numbers.


Notes

• The default value of $MaxPrecision is Infinity.
$MaxPrecision = Infinity uses the maximum value possible on a particular computer system, given roughly by Log[10, $MaxNumber].
$MaxPrecision is measured in decimal digits, and need not be an integer.
• See Section 3.1.5.
• New in Version 3; modified in 5.
