I have been having round off issues which hint that the elements of a sequence whicb are real numbers only have an accurace of about 8 digits. I had thought they were 16 digits. Can someone comment on sequence elements which are numberic. Most of mine (a record) have a mixture of numbers and character strings.

Euphoria atoms are stored as 64-bit floating point numbers (often referred to as double precision floating point). They store values as binary, so anything that cannot be represented like that can suffer from rounding errors when you display them.
