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
