Talk:Literals/Floating point

Fortran

I'm amazed that there is not a Fortran example for this yet. Since the ISO 1990 (1991?) standard (commonly called Fortran 90), Fortran has had some of the richest language-based (not library-dependent) floating point support around. ISO 2003 adds specific optional support for IEEE numbers too IIRC. I'll try to put together an example if I can find the time, but I no longer have access to a current Fortran compiler. --Balrog 09:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

REXX

not quite?

something=3; format(something,,,,0) yields '3' (on ooRexx) --Walterpachl 18:27, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I adjusted the explanation for the "rule" for the FORMAT bif for the fifth argument being zero.
Note that if <lang rexx>something = 3.0 say format(something,,,,0)</lang>should return

3.0

not
