2.4.5 Floating point literals
Floating point literals are described by the following lexical
definitions:
-
Note that the integer and exponent parts of floating point numbers
can look like octal integers, but are interpreted using radix 10. For
example, "077e010" is legal, and denotes the same number
as "77e10".
The allowed range of floating point literals is
implementation-dependent.
Some examples of floating point literals:
3.14 10. .001 1e100 3.14e-10 0e0
Note that numeric literals do not include a sign; a phrase like
-1 is actually an expression composed of the unary operator
- and the literal 1.
Release 2.4.5, documentation updated on 18 October 2006.
