Hello all,

Just wondering this:
How can I perform maths on doubles, so that the result uses the full
potential of a double's decimal spaces?

confused? ok, perhaps an example:

double x,y,z;
x=22;
y=7;
z=x/y;
cout<<z;

This will generally output something like:
3.1425(or whatever)
however if I do the same sum on the windoze calculator:
3.142857142957142857...................................you get the picture

so my question is this: How can I make MY doubles behave like this?
is there a library that i need to include? any suggestions?
