[sage-devel] Missing digits in numerical_approx

Using n() sometimes returns the wrong number of digits This is correct: sage: a = n(golden_ratio, digits=5000) sage: len(str(a)) 5001 This is not: sage: a = n(golden_ratio, digits=500) sage: len(str(a)) 489 Any clue? Jerome Tremblay LaCIM, UQAM -- To post to this group, send an ema
