Going the other way, it looks like the crt double has one more place than the fb double.

Interesting. 1/7 is good for testing because it is 0.142857', that is 142857 is repeated indefinitely.

Code: Select all

Exact:      0.142857 142857 142857 142857 142857 142857 ......
number:     0.142857 142857 1429
crt number: 0.142857 142857 14285

crt has indeed one more place, but rounds down.

I should like to nominate you as FreeBASIC's library innards guru.

Looks like there is a C++ class to do that:

I guess it could be ported to FreeBasic

The question is what is the closest /binary/ number.
