Okay, I did a bit of testing it happens when the value of *Scl is 1 or more. You get a similar result if you add or subtract, two or more numbers which are not in the same format; Like one without decimal and the other with a decimal.
Make sure all the values are in decimal format with scl set properly. Most things should be OK. (load '@lib/math.l) (exp 2) -> 1000002 (exp 9) -> 1000009 (scl 1) (+ 1 1.0) -> 11 (- 1.0 1) -> -9 (+ 1.0 1.0) -> 20 -------- Original Message -------- On 29 Jan 2018 10:10 am, PositronPro wrote: > I can't answer why it returns 1000001 for (exp 1). > > You can try (exp 1.0) it returns 2718282.
