real numbers, digits after the decimal point - digits of precision
the results from computation should have eleven digits after the decimal point for real numbers. (11 digits of precision) it seems reasonable.\\ instead of:
Prelude> (16.0/0.00002)**2.1
2.491661103847512e12
this is better:\\
2.49166110385e12
it should be noted that a lot of computing system uses this precision.
