note 110658 added to function.bcmul

When using printf to print the results of bcmath operations, use string format, i.e. '%s', not numeric formats such as '%d' or '%f'. For example, the output of factorial (23) will be incorrect if using %d or %f: Result using %f: factorial (22) = 1124000727777607680000 (correct) factorial (23) = 25852016738884978212864 (incorrect) Result using %s: factorial (22) = 1124000727777607680000 factorial (23) = 25852016738884976640000 Using echo, this is not a problem - PHP will output the bcmath string type correctly. ---- Server IP: 192.41.42.26 Probable Submitter: 216.129.152.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.bcmul.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110658 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110658/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110658/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110658/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110658/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110658/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110658/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110658 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110658 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
