Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
Just tried Smalltalk-80 (actually Apple Smalltalk-80 running in Mini<br>
vMac).<br>
1e-3 "printIt" (1/1000)<br>
1e-3 class "printIt" Fraction<br>
1e3 "printIt" 1000<br>
1e3 class "printIt" SmallInteger<br>
<br>
This has always been the behavior in Squeak too.<br>

<br>
<br>
What happens if you try compiling a method containing a literal<br>
Fraction and both debug it and decompile it. <br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
The attach shows that in ST-80 a CompiledMethod can contain a Fraction literal. Source code form for that is '1e-3'. Debugger works as in Squeak or Cuis.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>then if you feel strongly change it back, but you need to fix this:</div>

Dan doesn't say anything about Fraction literals in this message.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
He does talk about scientific notation '1e3' and '1e-3' meaning not Float, but SmallInteger and Fraction. The subject of this thread is "Float parsed as Fraction bug". <div class=""><br>

I don't think this is a bug at all.<br>

<br>
<br>
What, that 1e-3 is a Fraction, not a Float?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Yes. That, and allowing for Fraction literals in methods.<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>

BTW, Cuis also supports 1r111111111111 = 12 after this :)<br>
