x:".s first computes ".s, which is a floating-point approximation of the number represented by s, and _then_ converts that floating-point approximation to an extended precision value. (The latter conversion may also be approximate, pursuant to comparison tolerance, but is always exact when app

Hi Raul, alas, you are right. Say, I have the following string: s =: '34823742834835345345345346546454237' Since x: does not accept strings as arguments I first tried to convert s into an integer before casting it to extended int, as you showed before. However, this gives me the wrong result, wh

Hello everyone, say, I have a boxed list of strings which represent large integers (originally I imported the data from a text file): data =: '34823742834835345345345346546454237';'34593823489289342893498945349539' I want to convert the character data into integers to use them for computations,
