[R] Internal and displayed precision of numbers

[Oliver Bandel]

Hello,

many thanks!

BTW: I read your book. :)
It's quite good.

But I didn'tfoud the precision-stuff in it.
Adding information about this topic in the next
edition might be a good idea.

Nevertheless it explains crucial points very good,
and from that starting point, it's easier to understand the
manuals/help-pages.

Ciao,
   Oliver
