    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    This calculator program has accepted input in infix notation, and returned the answer , ¯. Here the comma is a decimal separator. Here the comma is a decimal separator. Infix notation is a method similar to immediate execution with AESH and/or AESP, but unary operations are input into the calculator in the same order as they are written on paper.

    Use of named column variables x & y in Microsoft Excel. Formula for y=x 2 resembles Fortran, and Name Manager shows the definitions of x & y. In most implementations, a cell, or group of cells in a column or row, can be "named" enabling the user to refer to those cells by a name rather than by a grid reference.

    [2] The Curta calculator used the method of complements for subtraction, and managed to hide this from the user. Numbers were entered using digit input slides along the side of the device. The number on each slide was added to a result counter by a gearing mechanism which engaged cams on a rotating "echelon drum" (a.k.a. "step drum").

    Zeros between two significant non-zero digits are significant (significant trapped zeros). 101.12003 consists of eight significant figures if the resolution is to 0.00001. 125.340006 has seven significant figures if the resolution is to 0.0001: 1, 2, 5, 3, 4, 0, and 0. Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit (leading zeros) are not ...

  7. Carry (arithmetic) - Wikipedia

    Here, 7 − 9 = −2, so try (10 − 9) + 7 = 8, and the 10 is got by taking ("borrowing") 1 from the next digit to the left. There are two ways in which this is commonly taught: The ten is moved from the next digit left, leaving in this example 3 − 1 in the tens column.

  8. Check digit - Wikipedia

    Another official calculator page shows that the mechanism for GTIN-13 is the same for Global Location Number/GLN. [6] For instance, the UPC-A barcode for a box of tissues is "036000241457". The last digit is the check digit "7", and if the other numbers are correct then the check digit calculation must produce 7.
