get_bigfloat_precision

get_bigfloat_precision()

Get the precision (in bits) currently used for BigFloat arithmetic.

Examples

julia> get_bigfloat_precision()
53

This function get_bigfloat_precision() returns the precision (in bits) currently used for BigFloat arithmetic.

Example usage:

julia> get_bigfloat_precision()
53

This example shows that the current precision for BigFloat arithmetic is 53 bits.

Common mistake example:

julia> get_bigfloat_precision(10)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching get_bigfloat_precision(::Int64)

In this example, the function get_bigfloat_precision() does not take any arguments. It is important to call the function without any arguments to retrieve the precision value.
