Thanks both, Derek and Chris. Didn't occur to me!

In particular, you'll notice that the precision is often truncated when
printing out a piddle, but if you print out an individual element, you will see
more decimal places. For example,
pdl> $a = xvals(5)+random(5)-.5;
pdl> print $a;
[-0.29799808 0.7962806 1.5091669 2.75142 4.2517894]
pdl> print $a((0));
-0.297998080973759
How many of those digits after the decimal are actually meaningful will of
course depend on your machine architecture, etc.

Are you sure this isn't just the printed output format?
Do you have a code snippet showing that the values
are not calculated exactly?

$bin_locations = zeroes($nbins)->xlinvals($minval, $maxval);
On my Mac, xlinvals seems to produce numbers with five decimal places - is
it possible to have it be more precise?
Would this be a compiler setting?
TIA
