PRINT
The PRINT statement displays numbers in either normal decimal
form
or scientific notation, according to these rules:
1, All numbers with 10 or fewer digits are printed in normal
decimal form.
2. Integer numbers with more than 10 digits are printed in scientifjc
notation.
3. Non-integer numbers with more than 10 digits are printed in
scientific notation only if they can be prescnted with more
significant digits in scientific notation than in normal decimal
form.
If printed in normal decimal form, all digits beyond the
tenth digit are omitted.
If numbers are printed in normal decimal form, the following
conventions are observed:
• Integers are printed with no decimal point.
• Non-integers
have the decimal point printed in its proper
place. Trailing zeros in the fractional
part are omitted. If
the number has more than ten digits, the tenth digit is
rounded.
•
Numbers with a value less than one are pnnted WIth no
digits to the left of the decimal point.
If numbers are printed in scientific notation, the format is:
mantissa E exponent
and the following rules apply:
•
The mantissa is printed with 6 or fewer digits and is
always displayed with one digit to the left of the decimal
point.
• Trailing zeros
are omitted in the fractional part of the
mantissa.
• If there are more than five digits in the fractional part of
the mantissa, the fifth digit is rounded.
• The exponent is displayed with a plus 01 IlIiHU~ ~igll
followed by a two-digit number.
• If you attempt to print a number with an exponent value
larger
than +~~ or smaller than -YY, the computer WIll
print ** following the proper sign of the exponent.
•
"E" must be an upper-case character.
