Subject: Setting Precision


Hello to all,
    I ' m using OCTAVE to teaching Numerical Analysis and I want that 
the students make some calculation with different precision .... Is this 
possible ? Is possible to change the number of digit that octave shows 
on the screen (I mean if I ask for PI, Octave answer 3.1416, but I know 
that there are more decimals )?

    Thanks.

    Diego
