But as a user, I am not expecting rounding errors for “simple” numbers. By
rounding to less digits (e.g. 7 for IEEE double precision) the errors could be
hidden for more cases. I suggest a quick patch for javascript at:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D6845

It would better to use another method than javascript-evaluate. Why do not make
libqalculate a dependency?

possible. This includes floating point numbers. Exceptions could be roots and
functions, e.g., sin and log.
