What does "he only puts 1decimal, so of course the calc believe the
result is pi, . . . " mean (and I'm not just referring to your broken
english, I really don't understand what idea you're trying to get
across)? Anyway, this discussion is overkill. I believe that you have
misinterpreted the post to which I responded. I stand by everything I've
said about the simple misunderstanding that 180*sin(1) does not (and
never will) equal pi. I don't believe Mr. Wendt meant his original post
on the issue as a joke.
