re: asking Charlie -- more detail | Comment 7 of 11 |
(In reply to asking Charlie by Ady TZIDON)

More detail on what UBASIC can do:

The following short UBASIC program tests its accuracy and capacity:

10   P1=1
20   for I=1 to 1000000
30     P1=P1*2:P2=2^I
40     if P1<>P2 then stop
50     print I:print P1:print P2
90   next

It ended on an overflow trying to do 2^8672. Up through 8671, there was no mismatch between 2^i calculated by repeat multiplications and that calculated by the exponential symbol.

2^8671, the highest it handled successfully, has 2611 decimal digits:

By the way, 2^1000 has 302 digits, not 301, as log(2^1000) = 301.02999566398 (base ten), so 2^1000 ~= 1.071508607186 x 10^301, which has 302 digits.
