::: The approximations shown above are all the same value (taken from the same variable), the only difference is the number of decimal digits (precision) being used when the value was displayed (plus the value will be rounded within the precision being used). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 03:21, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
::: 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)
