Problem related to COBOL programming language

Kindly help me Ketaki

It might be best to modify the decimal exponent. As in, the user enters X^0.5, modify the exponent so the output is X/2? Same with X^0.25... modified to X/4, etc, etc As in if exp<1, then Y=1/exp and Z=X/Y? Is this making any sense at all? This post has been edited by BenignDesign: 28 Apr, 2008 - 09:32 AM
