Numeric Command
From GeoGebra Manual
CAS Syntax
- Numeric( <Expression> )
- Tries to determine a numerical approximation of the given expression. The number of decimals depends on the global rounding you choose in the Options Menu.
- Example:
Numeric(3 / 2)
yields 1.5.
- Numeric( <Expression>, <Significant Figures> )
- Tries to determine a numerical approximation of the given expression, using the entered number of significant figures.
- Example:
Numeric(sin(1), 20)
yields 0.84147098480789650665.
Note: If you don't specify enough digits then you can get an apparently wrong answer due to floating point cancelation.
- Example:
Numeric(-500000000/785398163*sin(785398163/500000000)*1258025227.19^2+500000000/785398163*1258025227.19^2,10)
will give 4096 butNumeric(-500000000/785398163*sin(785398163/500000000)*1258025227.19^2+500000000/785398163*1258025227.19^2,30)
will give 0.318309886345536696694580314215.
