Calculator precision setting is wrong.

I invite anyone to open their Calculator application in Scientific RPN mode, set the precision to 2 decimal places and then enter "Pi". The displayed result is 3.1 instead of 3.14.
This embarassing bug affects any and every calculation that you make - the results are displayed with one decimal place less than your setting.
So if you want to do currency calculations, you just have to set the precision to 3 places in order to avoid gross errors!
Trashing the Calculator Preferences has no effect whatsoever.
Comment please.

That's nothing.
I see many people reporting problems with calculation on Calculator. My calculator worse than most reports.
With a precision level of 11 I do get eleven significant figures after pressing Pi, (3.14159265358979) Possibly "Precision should be renamed "Significant Figures." But not so fast. Amazingly when I put in
3994.45 (enter)
7
it returns
3987
It cant subtract! Ironically, I was using this to calculate how many shares of Apple I could buy through Scottrader, but this makes me take pause. Apparently this is a problem that has hung on for a while an Apple has not fixed it. Very disappointing.
Any suggestions?

    I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
    I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
    Thanks for any help!

    This did not work for me.  My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook.  I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up.  I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

  • Photoshop is maybe set up wrong - please help.

    I don't know what it is thats wrong with it.  I'm not an expert with it by any means so I'm not sure what could be causing the problems.
    When I place an image, it reduces its size in the window to less pixels than the actual info window says the image is.  Plus when I copy and paste from photoshop to illustrator, it pastes massive in illustrator but it's all pixellated.  Same with fonts, I wrote some text in Georgia and it's not enlarged or anything, just at a normal font size (36 I think) but you can see the pixel edges of it, it looks pixellated as if I have enlarged it.
    It must be set up wrong somehow.  Someone mentioned maybe my dpi or ppi are wrong?  But I'm not sure how I'd know, or what they should be at.
    Another thing, I created an image in ps that was A4 sized but when I went to print, it was passport sized.  I copied the image from photoshop then into word and it pasted it A4 sized and the photograph wasn't pixellated at all, so clearly it was supposed to be A4 in photoshop. 
    Confused.  Can anyone suggest anything?

  • Help me to set a wrong value in DateField object

    Hi all,
    I have a DateField object in my View Bean, which is having three seperate drop down for Date,month and year. When user select a wrong input (For Eg: 31 Sep 2006), the Error Action Handler will return with (01 Oct 2006) value as Date object is linient. So is there any hope to set my previouse value in the field.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Are you asking if it's possible to make an incorrect
    date default to the nearest correct date in the same
    month?I meant, I want to set a wrong date object. As Date,Calendar and GregorianCalendar all are lenient in true in default, it will count the date value and go forward to the next date. I dont want to do this. I have to set the selected date as my date object.
    Thanks

    You may have locked the screen. Open Control Center by sliding up with one finger from below the bottom of the home screen. The orientation lock control is at the far right of the top row in Control Center (looks like a lock surrounded by a circular arrow). If it is on, the same icon will be in the menu bar. Also note that not all screens will rotate -- the home screen for example will not.

  • Calculated attribute setter & getter methods

    Hi,
    i want more information on Calculated Attribute setter method & Calculated Attribute getter method.
    i have a value attribute, to which properties of  CalculatedAttributeGetter &  CalculatedAttributeSetter values are given with the method names.
    Is it like whenever we try to set a value for that attribute the setter is called and getter is called whever tries to get value.?
    Please give more info on this.
    Attribute: Emp
    Setter: setEmp
    getter: getEmp
    Thanks
    Hussain

    hi,
        hope this link will help you.
    If we create a value attribute then there will be a property called "calculated",set that property as true then we get two methods called "getter" and "setter".This is to be used for setting some values to our variables and getting that.In java .

  • Calculated key-figures are wrong in result rows

    Hi,
    I developed a BEx query which shows profi-centers and materials in the rows, and the price, the amount and the amount-value in the columns.
    Price and amount are basic key-figures on the cube, the value is calculated via a calculated key-figure in the query (price*amount).
    Now I have added result rows an profit-center level in the workbook. Everything works fine, BUT when I hide the materials, the result-row on profit-center level is calculated wrong.
    Is there any possibility to hide the material-lines without having the resul-rowts calculated wrong? Is there any feature like "caculate material in background but hide in the workbook"?
    I don´t like to create other basic key-figures on cube level, as this is only an example for lots of calculated key-figures which I use.
    Thanks for your help,
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    Since the prices and amounts are on the material level, therefore the calculation for amount value will be correctly done only when you have materials in the rows.
    Now when you hide the materials, then the system would not know on what basis to do the calculation: I'll explain with an example.
    Let's take four materials which have the same profit center assignment. But the prices for each of them are different and so are the amounts. Now if you remove the materials from the rows, then say the system calculates amount-value by taking the average price and multiply that with the total amount of the four materials. That would also give an incorrect result - isn't it?
    So there is no way to define what the system should do when material is removed from the rows.
    So material would be the minimum required granularity for such a report to show correct results.
    Regards,
    Shweta
