Double Precision Variable

Unread post by tmiller »

Is there a way to create double precision variables when programming in WinRats?

All reals and matrix elements are already double precision (64 bit IEEE on all machines that we currently use). What you can't get is single precision, though I believe I have a RATS function somewhere that will take a single precision real (read into an integer) and convert it to a double.

Integers are 32 bit on the standard WinRATS and MacRATS, and 64 bit on the Pro 64 or on 64-bit UNIX versions.
