rational number into a floating-point number?

Hi Ala'a
you cant control it. The rules when the E-notation is to be used is
described in the IBM APL2 language reference, page 13. So there is little
that can be changed without violating that reference.
However, you may want to have look at dyadic ⍕ (called Format by example and

Hi,
Is it possible to control when the interpreter uses the 'E' or display
the number without it? I know of quad print precision, but it did not
affect the printing of notation used for displaying these numbers when
I played with it.
I'm asking this because on one side I understand that this nota
Hi,
coming back to a proposal from Elias, I have added (experimental)
support
for rational numbers in GNU APL. SVN 982.
It has to be enabled explicitly:
./configure
RATIONAL_NUMBERS_WANTED=yes
In APL you can displa
