Csound decimal point precision

Hello, I'm reposting my question again: is there a way to perform calculations involving more than 3 decimal places or exponential notation in an orchestra file? Csound seems to ignore decimal places after 3. If I define a constant such as 0.0000000001 it seems to think it's 0.000 . I'm trying to code a sones-to-dB conversion formula in an insturment. It involves 10^-12. Thanks. Gregory Boduch gb141@columbia.edu |

One way to do it is calculate 1/100000000000 in your orchestra. The precision issue is at the translation from text to float, not internally (I think). Very large numbers should work fine. Mike Berry mikeb@mills.edu |
