Re: [Maxima-discuss] Problem with bfloat

[Barton W. <wi...@un...>]

Maxima compiled with CCL gives--due to subtractive cancellation, the floating point values might be

 totaly bogus, but no errors:


(%i7) rectform(solve(eq,r6))$

(%i8) bfloat(%);
(%o8) [r6 = 3.78775493814778b3 - 3.156703346873123b2 %i,
r6 = 3.156703346873123b2 %i + 3.78775493814778b3, r6 = 3.673147182356886b3,
r6 = 4.62662337510712b3]
