Message-ID: <2608@sdcrdcf.UUCP> (raw)
Two Questions:
(1) In the reference manual, on page 8-10, it says that overloading
is defined for subprograms, enumeration literals, operators, and single entries
However, I do not know what "single entries" are, and I cannot
find a definition in the manual.
Does anyone know the definition of a "single entry"?
(2) On page 3-20 of the reference manual, the canonical form for
any floating point number other than zero is given as
sign * mantissa * (radix ** exponent)
My question: Why is radix given as a parameter?
Isn't the radix, by definition, two?
