Hi,

I want to use a more accurate value of exp(1). The value given by R is
2.718282.

Well, not really. That is what is printed at the console with the default settings for digits. The internal representation is wider:

> format(exp(1), digits=15)
[1] "2.71828182845905"


I want a value which has more than 15 decimal places. Can anyone let
me know how can I increase the accuracy level.

You already have it.

Actually there are some large multipliers of exp(1) in my whole expression, and I want a more accurate result at the last step of my program, and for that I
need to use highly accurate value of exp(1).

Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
