R help - Nov 2003 - precision in operations

Hi all;
could you remind me what is the function to change the precision of the 
operations done in R? I can't remember nor find it.

Best regards

Javier

There isn't one.  R does all its calculations with system defined 
double-precision or integers (on most platforms where R is used, these 
are both 32 bits).  See help(is.single)

Are you thinking of format(...,digits=n) ?  This only affects display 
(i.e. printing).

Cheers
