printingTrailLimit -- maximum number of additional trailing digits to use when printing real numbers

Synopsis

• Usage:

  printingTrailLimit = n

• Inputs:
  • n, an integer
• Consequences:

  • Real numbers are printed with at most n additional trailing digist, in addition to those specified by printingPrecision.

Description

i1 : 3000000000000.

o1 = 3e12

o1 : RR (of precision 53)

i2 : printingTrailLimit

o2 = 5

i3 : printingTrailLimit = 20

o3 = 20

i4 : 3000000000000.

o4 = 3000000000000

o4 : RR (of precision 53)
