@ -12,7 +12,8 @@ integers, the shell is usually compiled to use 8-byte precision where this
is available, otherwise precision is 4 bytes. This can be tested, for
example, by giving the command `tt(print - $(( 12345678901 )))'; if the
number appears unchanged, the precision is at least 8 bytes. Floating
point arithmetic is always double precision.
point arithmetic always uses the `double' type with whatever corresponding
precision is provided by the compiler and the library.
The tt(let) builtin command takes arithmetic expressions as arguments; each
is evaluated separately. Since many of the arithmetic operators, as well
