::: The ''true value'' shown (for each program execution) is the true value (taken from a value that is assigned), rounded to the number of decimal digits in use for the program. For the true value, the actual constant within the program is accurate to '''115''' decimal digits. All computed values shown for the output are, by definition, approximations, limited by the number of decimal digits and the number of iterations. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:52, 16 November 2018 (UTC) |

::: Showing the ''true value'' of <big><big><math>\pi</math></big></big> is in the same vein. It's only accurate (or true) up to the number of (decimal) digits for <big><big><math>\pi</math></big></big>, rounded to the number of decimal digits shown. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:56, 16 November 2018 (UTC) |
