Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2399) Should requirementson PI? - too vague?
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2399?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18136#action_18136 ] Michael Brauer commented on OFFICE-2399: ---------------------------------------- I agree that we should just require that PI() shall be best approximation of pi that is possible. I don't think we need to say anything about rounding an truncation, since this is not specific to pi. Suggestion: Just say under semantics: Semantics: This function takes no arguments and returns the (approximate) value of pi. Evaluators should use the closest possible numerical representation that is possible in their representation of numbers. > Should requirements on PI? - too vague? > --------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-2399 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2399 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OpenFormula > Reporter: Patrick Durusau > Assignee: Dennis Hamilton > Priority: Minor > Fix For: ODF 1.2 Part 2 CD 2 > > > What reads like requirements for Evaluators on PI sounds vague to me: > "Evaluators are not required to represent pi exactly , but they should make an attempt to give an accurate result given their numerical representation method. Evaluators which use a fixed-length numerical representation should use the closest possible numerical representation." > I don't think either of these represent meaningful statements.
