The provided example contradicts the description, since it displays 10 significant digits in its fractional part instead of the (minimum) 15 significant digits which is stated as a requirement.

Proposed change: Fix the example or the text, so this contradiction is resolved.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment GB-0421 (Modified: 2007-10-22) While it is true that PI must compute the value to at least 15 significant figures, the result might be displayed using fewer than that number. To clarify this, the example will be changed, as follows: [Example: The following results are displayed using 10 significant figures PI() results in 3.141592654 PI()/2 results in 1.570796327 PI()*(2.5^2) results in 19.63495408 end example] Similar Comments: CA-0050 , ECMA-0073 , FR-0448 , US-0244
