A question has recently been asked at the Just BASIC forum about numeric precision. To illustrate the improvement possible by using LBB it is only necessary to run this one-line program which displays the value of PI:
Code: print using("#.###################", 4*atn(1))
Results are as follows:
| JB 1.01: | 3.1415926535897931776 |
| LB 4.5.0: | 3.1415926535897931776 |
| LBB 3.07: | 3.1415926535897932380 |
| Actual: | 3.1415926535897932384... |
