Paul, there are a lot of duplicated keywords in the freebasic_keywords.txt file. Is this intentional? Example: oct oct$ oct$ off offset on on once open open operator option option or out out output output If you want it, here's a sorted, deduplicated copy of the file from the 1.9.7 release: #define ...

Hi srvaldez, That's my whole problem... none of them return the exact same results. So, for now, I'm writing it to have different implementations make a first attempt with a truncated (not rounded) 15 digits of precision. If that doesn't allow for equivalency checks, then we'll drop it down to 14 di...

Thanks srvaldez, but it looks like no one can verify it between different compilers/platforms without a LOT of testing. So now I'm just trying to figure out which way I want to work around the issue in my application (as described above).

. Oh again... My friend recommended that, if possible, when trying to implement interactive applications (with double precision needs) with multiple code bases and on multiple platforms... "IF" it is just the current running instances that need to pass accurate data back and forth for imme...

. Oh... and the MatLab code is just the couple of equations that I've commented into the code stub. I can't show proper math equations here, so that's the best I could do. Note: The results are technically correct - it's just that there is a difference in the precision of the results in the FreeBASI...

. I've already had problems with the number of significant digits MrSwiss. Here's why... (I think)... because of the number of significant digits available to Doubles in different compilers, runtimes, etc.: FreeBASIC (15 digits): 4.940656458412465 e-324 to 1.797693134862316 e+308 -4.940656458412465 ...

Since double-precision floating-point values/digits/rounding can (do) vary between programming languages and platforms... how do you write code that uses doubles that needs to interoperate with other people's applications?

Thanks!

Thanks srvaldez! I must have been copying the 32bit version to the 64bit lib directory. I deleted everything and started over and it works good now.

. @srvaldez ... the lib source code is included and I built it for 32bit and tested ok ... and then I rebuilt it for 64bit, which the mandel program finds incompatible when I try to compile it for 64bit. @TouristTrap ... Thanks! but the console program I'm writing will need to run on Linux as well. ...

. Has anyone used jdebord's "FBComplex: complex number library" with FB 64bit? https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19115 http://www.unilim.fr/pages_perso/jean.debord/tpmath/fbcomplex.zip I'm attempting to run his "mandel.bas" demo program as 64bit. I'm able to...

. Just tried a bunch of other different sizes and offsets over 4GB... fwrite and fread are totally screwed for any i/o using an exact 4GB variable or greater . It looks like writing and reading files is limited to GETs and PUTs of less than 4GB at once! It's CHUNK'ing TIME !!! Thanks! Bruce
