(Disclaimer:	The following is my own guess.)

The programing style of Caculator DA is ragher modest where floating point 
is concerned.  It does not display the result in the maximum possible 
precision after converting it to decimal notation; rather, it rounds the 
result off to certain decimal point and removes all tailing zeros.
