I entered the value 2415020.3135 into KCalc and hit enter and it became 2.41502e+06. How do I prevent this? It is very irritating not to see all the digits I entered. I need to know what I am working with, no?
Please tell me how I can stop this irritating behaviour of KCalc's. I tried changing the maximum number of digits and decimal digits in KCalc settings to no avail.
Using KCalc 2.0 on KDE 3.5 on SUSE 10.0.
Thank you.
Hi SS, The number you've entered hasn't been modified at all. KCalc is just converting it to exponential notation and displaying, as a convenience, only the 'significant' digits (in this case, the integers.) You can prevent this by going to 'Settings'-Configure KCalc and checking the "Set decimal precision" box. While you're there, you can also set the number of decimal places you'd like it to display. regards, - Carl
