EW> This looks like the correct approximation for 8 digits to me.
btw, in CLISP:
[1]> (exp 1l0)
2.7182818284590452354L0
[2]> (exp 1d0)
2.718281828459045d0
[3]> (exp 1.0)
2.7182817
last value looks a bit strange, double and long versions have all digits
correct.
What do you get if you simply type:
2.7182818
?
