Pow returning a double (Documentation update pls)

[Tranquil]

As manual says, Pow is returning a float. It would be nice to get a double for lager results as a native command.

Or did I miss something!?

EDIT: Edited the topic in the near right direction.

The doc only means that the type returned is a floating point decimal number. If you choose a double to receive the result, the function will fill it correctly up to the capacity of a double. The doc could be tweaked a bit to show that Result.d = Pow(number.f, power.f) is also valid. The result of this Pow function would not fit in a .f type, yet it works properly:

Code: Select all

dog.d = Pow(30000,3)
cat.q = 30000*30000*30000

Debug dog
Debug cat

Thanks netmaestro.

I thought so but was confused about the docs.

The german documentation also says, that Fred will add a AbsD() function. You now the normal Abs()? It returns the absolute value of a FLOAT number.

The german documentation says explicitly, that a function for Double will follow in one of the next versions.
