need a Scientific Notation to real number converter
#21
Bplus

Can you give an example of string math.  I thought that was what I was doing by converting
the result from number to string then back to a number.  The problem is that when converting 
back to a number it also converted back to the notation.  This has been killing me, The whole 
thing will be removed once I can hand verify that all the calculations are correct.  Right now, as
it is the values don't match.  I print the values to a plain text file so that I can check everything.
Once I can prove everything is calculating correctly this part will be removed from the the main
code.  I could use the notation in my hand calculations but most likely it would increase the odds 
of  me making mistakes.  Speed at this point is not a issue.   

Thanks R1

Yeah ScNeill's is good example, I did 18 chars per calc too, due to his influence.

@bplus Much better than doing 1 calc per character.  Smile

Yet bet-cha!

@random1 in string math, you never let the numbers you calc with touch QB64 number types they all remain Strings. Remember strings only have a limit of the size memory you have, so in string math the numbers are not limited to any particular and uniform size. For that freedom you pay a price and it may be dear, how long your calculations may take.
b = b + ...
