Variable Precision

This example shows how Symbolic Tools uses the Maple kernel to display a result using more precision than can be carried out in GAUSS.  The results are displayed in Notepad.

library symbolic; // define the library
call symstate(reset);

// turns on symbolic processing

// Variable precision

call symout(on);
call symrun("Digits = 20;");
call symmaple("sqrt(2)",0);

call symout(view);

The output from this example is :

_rslt := 1.4142135623730950488
