<pre>As described on
<a href="https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/float-precisionfrom-zero-to-100-digits-2/">https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/float-precisionfrom-zero-to-100-digits-2/</a>,
to uniquely identify a single, it is required to show 9 decimal digits (and 17
for double). Currently, watch in BASIC IDE shows only 7 decimals for single, so
e.g.
<span class="quote">> dim s1 as single, s2 as single, d as double
> s1 = 1.1754943
> s2 = 1.1754944
> d = s2 - s1</span >
would show s1 and s2 *both* as 1.175494, while d would contain 1.192E-07,
showing that the shown precision is not enough.
The suggestion is to show 9 significant digits for single values.</pre>
