Integer overflow problem with turing's trig functions.

[CodeMonkey2000]

When I run this I keep getting an integer overflow error.

Turing:

fcn tand (angle : real) : real     result sind (angle) / cosd (angle) end tand put round (tand (90))

How do I get around this? The number you get in that function isn't even that big (in fact it's quite small), why is it giving me this error? Oh and I need to deal with integers. Using just real variables won't help me.

tand(90) = infinity =\ how could it be small?

Actually why isin't it complaining of div by zero?

[CodeMonkey2000]

Oh right use radian

[Clayton]

And just to clarify:

tand 90 = sind 90 / cosd 90
tand 90 = 1 / 0

That's why it doesn't work

[rizzix]

Radians or degrees, either one would result in Infinity.

My concern is why isin't cosd(90) = 0???

[Clayton]

I'm not sure Turing represents cosd (90) as 1.22 x 10^-16, yet sind (90) = 1

[CodeMonkey2000]

Another strange thing is that tand(90) won't give you an error. Only when you try to convert it in to an integer through round,ceil or floor will you get an error. So it realizes its mistake when you attempt to convert it.

[Clayton]

Uh... tand(90) definitely gives an error in the way of "Quit #51"

[CodeMonkey2000]

That's strange, on my computer it gave me:

8.16423 x10^18

[rizzix]

You're using a different version of Turing. I'm guess ing ver < 4.1

[Prince Pwn]

How do u ppls know how to use tangent and stuff. I dont understand any of that.

[Nick]

you learn in math... i think gr 11 advanced or gr 12

@momop, your avatar is too large, please resize it to something smaller.

@rizzix, he's probably the one using 4.1, I'm using 4.0.5

@Prince Pwn, Grade 10 math you start to learn trig... at least... you should have

[CodeMonkey2000]

I have turing 4.0.3.

[CodeMonkey2000]

But that's good enough. Trig really isn't that hard. It's not hard to go further than what they teach you either. I'm going into grade 11.
