[Scilab-users] Problems arising from truncation of %pi

Yes, I've thought about it and you are right, above 1e16 x is so sparse, 
cycle-wise speaking, that my original intention doesn't make much sense.

Besides, at a sample rate of 44100, and a maximum frequency of 22050 Hz, 
a phase of 1e16 is reached only  after 2288 years, so it's not a 
practical problem!

I must confess, by the way, that because of a stupid interpretation of 
some results on my part, I thought an error I was having was due to the 
slow departure from strict discrete signal periodicity but it wasn't. Sorry!

Regards,

Federico Miyara
