Well, if you are not actually using Squeak then it would at least help to state which Smalltalk you are referring too. > I found that classes in a GNU Smalltalk-80 documentation > http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk//manual-base/html_node/FloatD.html.

In addition, there is FloatArray, storing Floats as 32 bit single-precision values. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
