According to The African Chief:
GPC doesn't like the spaces between e and +. Use
1.79e+308
instead of
1.79e + 308
You were right. How odd!
(I am not sure what the official Pascal standard says about this;
Me neither.
Me neither. It's impossible to understand them, as usual, but I have the impression that they do not want blanks in numbers. PEP does not accept it, so at least the standard does not requiire it.
Borland Pascal accepts the spaces).
Then perhaps GPC also should ?
I don't think so since I consider this a bug in BP, not a feature.
Other opinions?
