Re: APL ⎕RVAL real number generation wrong

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann via Bugs and suggestions for GNU APL]

Hi,

thanks,

could you please explain a little more what you mean?

An example could help a lot (e.g. what you get and what you
expect to get).

Thanks,
Jürgen

APL ⎕RVAL real number generates numbers (.5, .75).
possible cause: IEEE 754 float is defined as "se...ef1...fn", which

s f1.f2...fn 2^(a function of e...e).
