FNX Basic and scientific notation of numbers ???
Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 1:22 pm
I think that fnxBasic can not handle numbers in scientific notation (e.g.: 23e5) in input.
Otherwise it can give out numbers in this format !
First sample:
`================
` Begin of code
?DIM x as double
?x = 23.2*10^24
?showmessage str$(x)
` end of code
`================
This Program gives you the result "x=23.2E45" in scientific notation. That`s ok !
Second sample:
`================
` Begin of code
?DIM x as double
?x = 23.2E24
?showmessage str$(x)
` end of code
`================
This results in an error message:
"error:45 line n: E is not a valid operator".
Is there a possibility to work in FNXBasic with scientific notation ?
Thank you for answers!
