例 1. bcscale() example


<?php

// default scale : 3
bcscale(3);
echo bcdiv('105', '6.55957'); // 16.007

// this is the same without bcscale()
echo bcdiv('105', '6.55957', 3); // 16.007

?>

If you don't set the default scale, be careful when you're chaining together several BC math functions - since by default, these functions will round off your values, losing accuracy very quickly:



<?php

$a = 1.234

$b = 2.345

$c = 7.890



$ab = bcmul($a,$b);           // 2

$abc = bcmul($ab,$c);



echo $abc;                 // 15

?>



... compare with the answer you get when you use more decimal places:



<?php

$a = 1.234

$b = 2.345

$c = 7.890



bcscale(15);

$ab = bcmul($a,$b);           // 2.893730

$abc = bcmul($ab,$c);



echo $abc;                 // 22.83152970

?>
