there's a small problem with the sinus and db :
dark basicb> sin(36) = 0.587689
dark basic pro> sin(36) = 0.587785
my calculator> sin(36) = 0.587785

I tried with a few other angles, and it is always the same : dark basic has a problem with the sinus... and the cosinus, tangeante, ..
with db pro, it work without any problem.

( yes, i don't speak well english, but if I do greats errors, tell me please, I want to learn ^^ )

It does appear to be wrong, though it is such a small error I doubt it would cause problems in any program, maybe you should stick with DBpro if it is a problem.

damn, that is a big problem to me. i use sin and cos commands a lot and mutiply them by sometimes 1000 to get a bigger value. i hope the team goes back and fixes this problem. i'll have to e-mail Lee.

btw, i only use dbv1 because there is much that i dont know about db and dbpro has lots of bugs. i am bringing up my math skills by darkbasic a lot. a little math error can be a big problem.

maybe i should. but right now, i am working with another program for making models and animations for some time for practice. when that time finishes or i decide to go back to darkbasic, dbpro might be well fixed and i would use it. so its less off a problem for me now.
