Hmm, calculator itself should be accurate, its the LCD display that round up the number to show u just the digits.LittleWolf said:All calculators are somewhat inaccurate (they generally round the exact results to a number they can represent). The difference is to what degree they are so, especially when it comes to operations like transcendental functions.

I know for certain that some exams do not allow certain calculators and make sure the one you getting is on the "ALLOWED" list..
I have learnt while schooling that the calculator uses rounding and when doing long calculations the minor error escalates.Astin said:Hmm, calculator itself should be accurate, its the LCD display that round up the number to show u just the digits.
What u refer to is "truncation", the user specify how many decimal points he wants to truncate, the calculator will display according to what the user specify. A financial guy may want to truncate to 4 decimal points for convenience, while a scientist may want to truncate to 40 decimal points for more accuracy.yanyewkay said:I have learnt while schooling that the calculator uses rounding and when doing long calculations the minor error escalates.
There was a test to check the calculator's accuracy but I've forgotten how to do it. It's part of some computer study thingy.
