Re: TIB: int() error in TI-83?




In a message dated 98-10-20 17:08:17 EDT, you write:

<< why does:
 3root(125) return 5 but
 int(3root(125)) return 4?
 (3root = cube root operator)
 
 That seems like a fairly straight forward piece of math to me... iPart does
 the same. I can do:
 3root(125)->X 
 and X will return 5, but:
 int(x)
 returns 4!
 
 On the other hand, if I do:
 5->X
 int(X) will return 5 as it should.
 
 Is my calculator losing its mind? Or is it just me? :) >>
