Thanks for the pointer - knew it was a simple one!
Cheers

Maybe format() or clean() ?

Hi
The function *clean *does that:
clean(cos(%pi)+%i*sin(%pi))
Note that the limited precision of floating point numbers is a general
issue in computer science.

You should be aware of that for ins
Hello,
Just a quick query. Not been using Scilab for a while, so maybe I have
missed something, but is there a built-in precision setting for working
with real and imaginary functions?
Tried the Euler formula (special case) in Scilab 5.4.1:
-->x=cos(%pi)+(%i*sin(%pi))
x =
- 1. + 1.225D-16i
