Hi Nicolas,
You wrote some expressions containing float literals with a radix prefix and an
exponent and wondered:
>As shown above, exponent is always interpreted in base 10. why ?
Because there is no need to express it in the base specified in
the radix prefix?
>is it compatible with any other language convention ?
Is it not compatible with any other language convention ?
>(note that exponent is forbidden in VW when base is not 10, so no clue from
>this dialect...).
But there is a clue from the Blue Book (p 20):
"The exponent suffix includes the letter "e" followed by the exponent
(expressed in decimal)."
Greetings
Wolfgang
