Wrong math (solved) - zarsoft - 2023-11-08
PRINT SIN 1
Gives: 0.841461181640625 (wrong)
LET v = 1
PRINT SIN v
Gives: 0.84147098 (right)

They are actually the same value. It's a matter of precission.
SIN 1 is being calculated directly by the compiler in compiling time.
SIN(1) is aprox 0.8414709848078965
The 2nd case is computed in runtime, using the ROM calculator.
I guess this is due to a bug in precision converting from PC to ZX Spectrum 5 bytes format.
Will investigate this and keep you posted.
Thanks

In effect, is a silly bug: for some reason, the compiler is convertig SIN 1 to Fixed before printing it.
You can (for the moment) workaround it with:
Code:
PRINT CAST(Float, SIN 1)RE: Wrong math - boriel - 2024-01-03
