Please try this code:
| Code: |
$regfile = "m324padef.dat" ' ATmega324
$hwstack = 150 ' default use 32 for the hardware stack
$swstack = 150 ' default use 10 for the SW stack
$framesize = 150 ' default use 40 for the frame space
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------'
dim temporary_single1 as single
dim temporary_single2 as single
temporary_single2=10.0
temporary_single1=13.50
temporary_single1=power(temporary_single2,temporary_single1) 'result is NaN
print temporary_single1
Config Single = Scientific , Digits = 7
temporary_single2=10.0
temporary_single1=13.50
temporary_single1=power(temporary_single2,temporary_single1) 'result is inaccurate
print temporary_single1
dim temporary_double1 as double
dim temporary_double2 as double
temporary_double2=10.0
temporary_double1=13.50
temporary_double1=power(temporary_double2,temporary_double1) 'result is OK
print temporary_double1
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------'
End 'End Program
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Result number is not so big for single data type. However I have troubles with calculate. Anyone know why?

Hi!
Sorry I can't try your code because I got an error | Quote: | | Error: 999 Line: 27 DEMO/BETA only supports 4096 bytes off code... |
I don't understand this error, the demo or beta support 4096 bytes long code but this code is around 1kb wich is smaller then 4096 bytes...
I think, the problem is does a single can hold a numeric value up to 7 digits and the result of 10.0^13.5=3.1622777e+13 which is much bigger number then a single can hold. I mean the result of 3.1622777e+13 is a 14 digits and more number, so this can not fit in the single.
Maybe I'm wrong but I came up with this idea...
My best regards. |

Thank you for answer.
I found only this about SINGLE:
| Quote: | Single
4 Bytes
1.5 x 10^–45 to 3.4 x 10^38
Singles are stored as signed 32 bit binary numbers |
So single-type data could be up to 3.4e+38. ? If data is stored in 32bit...I really don't know how to fit it in 32bit. That's way I' m asking how it works...
___________
Please try "normal single" , then scientific single, and then double if you have trouble with code.

Edit:
Well...I was thinking. I was sure I don't need any other operation to keep my "10^10.5 number" into SINGLE-TYPE with SINGLE PRECISION. But it return NOT A NUMBER. Unfortunatelly I have to use "scientific single".... In my opinion it is not explained well in help. |

You should read the help topic "Language Fundamentals -> Floating point SINGLE..." for informations how to get such numbers into 32bit.
The POWER function itself will work, PRINT and STR() have problems with large numbers in SINGLE - that's why CONFIG SINGLE was introduced - see help topic about CONFIG SINGLE.
The inaccuracy however comes from type SINGLE which can hold only 24bit mantisse, that equals about 7 digits accuracy in decimal. |

Read the help. Single consists out of 23bits mantissa, 8bits exponent and 1bit sign.
Thus it is possible to represent large numbers on the cost of resolution, as for the actual content of the value only 23bits are available.
Because of that there are quiet remarkable rounding errors.
If you'd have put one of your variables in the "Variables" watch tab, you'd have noticed, that the calculation works well, only the print fails and produces a NAN.
Put:
| Code: | Config Single = Scientific , Digits = 7 |
immediately after:
| Code: | $regfile = "m324padef.dat"
$hwstack = 150
$swstack = 150 |
and it will work as expected.
It's a bit odd however, as it's a compiler option, which should not matter, where exactly it is placed. |

I think it should be important where you put "config" statement. You can change configuration. So it is OK.
However if you use sctientific single then you get inaccurate solution.

In fact the help mentions reusable : NO but that is not the case : it should be YES.
You can change between the 2 outputs using multiple config single statements :
config single=scientific
...
config single=normal
...
just take care that this is not dynamic : you can not change it with some variable or if then.
