[Gnuplot-info] calculation/potentiation errors

[S <ste...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am trying to produce plots on very broad ranges of numbers (as broad
as between 1e20 and 1e-10). I have discovered, that when I try to
calculate e.g.
10**-14
the result is somewhere at 1e9. These miscalculations make my plots
incorrect.

Minmal command to reproduce the problem:
   print 10**-14
the result is
   3.61732686836958e-09
when it should return 1.0e-14 .

Is there a way to solve this or a workaround? Why is this so?

Thanks,

Stephan
