To Control the Number of Decimal Places in Results
1. Place the cursor at the end of the expression you want to evaluate, insert the symbolic evaluation operator, and type the keyword float in the placeholder.
2. Press Enter to evaluate the expression.
The default number of result digits when using the keyword float is 20.
3. Type a number after float to specify a different number of displayed digits.
The maximum number of result digits that you can specify after float is 250.
Reducing the number of computed digits reduces the accuracy of the result. Do not use float as a way of reducing the size of the displayed result. To reduce the number of displayed digits without affecting the accuracy of the result, type integers in the expression in decimal form.
• Type the basic symbolic evaluation
• Type the same expression in decimal form:
• Use the float modifier and specify the number of digits to display
