Why this function always results in a wave with value 0?

I want to simulate PINEM electron density probability as a function of time and position after interaction with near field. But the function ffinal(twave,zwave,yw) always results in a zero yw wave. Basically it is the time-dependent momentum space electron wavefunction Fourier transformed to position space.What I want to get is shown in the attachment. It should be magsqr(yw). But yw in my code always equals zero. What's wrong with my code? Many thanks!

I'm betting you copied source from another program (perhaps MatLab)?

In any event, it is helpful to both use the debugger and to rewrite complicated expressions in pieces so you can see what the numeric results of each piece is.

In my rewritten f1 code, argReal = -984739315945430, and exp( -984739315945430) is identically 0. It isn't going to matter what you multiply it with, the result will be 0.

I think you have one or more typos in f1()

#pragma TextEncoding = "UTF-8"
#pragma rtGlobals=3             // Use modern global access method and strict wave access
#pragma DefaultTab={3,20,4}     // Set default tab width in Igor Pro 9 and later

Hello Yuan,

It might help if you posted an image of the original equation that you are trying to evaluate together with the values of the relevant parameters.  As Jim indicated above, the numerical factors that you are evaluating do not lead to a useful result.  This is similar conceptually to implementing the sinc(x) function by directly computing sin(x)/x at x=0.
