Hi All.

That there is such a case:

require ‘bigdecimal/math’
include BigMath

num1 = BigDecimal.new(1) / BigDecimal.new(6);
num2= BigDecimal.new(1) / BigDecimal.new(600);
num3 = BigDecimal.new(1) / BigDecimal.new(600000);
num4 = BigDecimal.new(1) / BigDecimal.new(60000011);

printf(num1.to_s + “\n”);
printf(num2.to_s + “\n”);
printf(num3.to_s + “\n”);
printf(num4.to_s + “\n”);

obtain the following results:

0.166666666666666667E0
0.1666666666666667E-2
0.1666666666667E-5
0.16666663611E-7

Question: How I can fixate digits after point (in any manipulation
return 32(for example) digits after point? And the second question is
why it rounds them differently? (first gave to 18 characters, the second
16, third 13, fourth 11)

Thank you in advance.

  1. You can fixate the digits using printf(“%f0.5”, var); Just like in C.
  2. This is the scientific notation[1]. The numbers are all rounder at 18
    chars.

Thank you in advance.
