Extended-precision
Extended-precision variables require 10 bytes
of storage each. They have a range of approximately +/- 3.4*10^-4932
to 1.2*10^4932, and offer 18 digits of precision. All 18 digits
can be "displayed" using the extended STR$
format (eg, STR$(var##,18)).
Extended-precision variables are identified
by adding two Number symbols following a variable name (i.e., var##)
or by using the DEFEXT
statement.. You can also declare Extended-precision variables using
the EXT or EXTENDED keywords with the DIM
statement. For example:
DIM I AS EXT
DIM J AS EXTENDED
