Hello: Here is a bit of R-code:
> mvr [1] 2.2658 > (sin(.Last.value)+sin(2*.Last.value)) [1] -0.2156507 > acos((-sqrt(17)-1)/8) [1] 2.2658 > (sin(.Last.value)+sin(2*.Last.value)) [1] 1.76745 > (sin(mvr)+sin(2*mvr)) [1] -0.2156507 > Note that my variable mvr is the value of acos((-sqrt(17)-1)/8). However, if I use .Last.value after invoking the acos function in a further calculation, I get a nonsensical result. What is going on? I am running R version 4.0.0 (2020-04-24) on an iMac, operating system MacOS 11.4 “Big Sur”.
