Double
A signed floating-point number.
- Input Format:
- A sequence of numeric digits, possibly prefixed with a sign character.
- Use with do-loops:
- When a Double variable is used as the dependent variable of a
do-loop, the associated loop increment is
also an Double.
- Examples:
-
print $Double(-2.3e-6)
-> -2.3e-6
- Context:
- This datatype is mainly used to specify do-loop
increments when the loop variable is a floating point datatype.
