Our 2nd reply:
actually 249^2*5 is within the
others. The error should
sums, and comparing that to a log in the p array. That ought to compound rounding errors, so we wouldn't be surprised if it didn't
find the correct solution. Even so, we'd settle for it not finding false solutions. So we'll test it on Q-emuLator sometime
BASICs calculate an extra digit in FP functions so as to know which way to round the least significant digit. Comparing the 2.5
powers is to attempt a "meet inthe middle" hack to a discrete log problem. Thus, taking INTs becomes superfluous - just as
when comparing integers by taking INTs, which seems like shooting yourself in the foot: you may find the correct solution,
but you also may round some FP Nos the wrong way and thereby find false solutions.
The point is taken that a Spectrum Next is no ZX Spectrum,
