On your computer, show that in single precision, you have only six decimal digits of accuracy if you enter 20 digits. Show that going to double precision is effective only if all work is done in double precision. For example, if you use pi = 3.14 or pi = 22/7, you will lose all the precision that you have gained by using double precision. Remember that the number of significant digits in the final results is what counts!
