in thread Weird number formatting
Maybe I'm missing something...
What I don't get is that the addition is performed correctly despite the "D" instead of "E".
Can anyone explain why?
Thanks,
Kris

I would expect to see for the output:$my_x = $info[4] + 0; $my_y = $info[5] + 30; for($i = '1'; $i <= $info[2]; $i++) { print ("$my_x $my_y $info[($i + 8)]\n"); $my_y = $my_y + 30;
but it actually does understand D+06 as exponential notation0.22512 30.341916 661
Can anyone explain why?
