Or maybe an all-rational math? I'm mainly curious as my CASIO fx-115W calculator returns a result of exactly 4 if I input 8^(2/3), but I do not know how it arrives at the answer.
Calculators often resort to built-in tables. The easiest solution is probably to round off the last 2 digits of the full precision. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
