::The actual value though? That's easily available in other places. I used the adjective insane because posting it here just forces '''everybody''' to scroll through huge walls of low information text. I debated even just asking for the iteration count for the stretch goal. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 12:37, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
::: As for huge walls of text, I tried to solve that obstacle by using a smaller font, so on ''my'' screen, it was only '''<sup>1</sup>/<sub>3</sub>''' of a screen, ··· now, admittedly, I have a large screen. (I could've even made the output smaller yet height-wise, and probably should have in retrospect, or better yet, used a ''wider'' output.) If anyone wanted to scroll horizontally, the capability <strike>is</strike> was there, but nobody is forced to scroll horizontally, unless they wanted to verify that their value or REXX's value is/was correct, or perhaps to verify some portion of that number. (One option I had considered was just to show the "last" hundred decimal digits of the calculated value.) Another option would just to use a maximum height '''output''' window (specified within the <big> <nowiki><pre></nowiki> </big> HTML tag), which, in hindsight, probably should've been used by most examples --- if vertical scrolling is a problem. I also left the (display/showing) technique intact for showing 256 decimal digits (or more) on one line, so there is no vertical scrolling penalty for anyone). Additionally, I used a smaller font for the first output to reduce scrolling for everybody. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:50, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
