Mysterious Range Check Error... Help plz!!!

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 11:46:56 -0700

I dry ran these codes for hours but I couldn't find a solution to the Range Check Error.

The compiler I am using is FreePascal 2.6.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

program abc;

uses math;

var x: integer;

begin

x:= trunc(power(10, 2/log10(2)));

readln
end.

It's not that mysterious if you read the definition for the trunc function and what it returns. I took things by step to see where the Range Check Error is coming from. And when I changed the definition of x to int64, it worked! Here's what I did to find the error.

program abc;

  uses math;

  var
    x : int64;
    lv : float;
    pv : float;
    tv : float;

begin
  lv := 2 / log10( 2 );
  pv := power( 10, lv );
  tv := trunc( pv );
  writeln( lv:12:6,'  ', pv:12:6, '  ', tv:12:6 );

  x := trunc(power(10, 2/log10(2)));
  writeln( x:12 );

  readln
end.
