Hi Josh, Floating-point support does work, it just doesn't work the way you think it does. The number 0.5 isn't a C-compatible float or double; it's an object. So instead of writing
(+ 0.5 0.5) you should write [0.5 + 0.5] The message-send expression above evaluates to a floating-point object... to print it, you should write: [StdOut print: [0.5 + 0.5]] Otherwise what you'll see is the address of that object in memory. Now, even if floating-point numbers weren't objects, it still wouldn't make sense to add them using (+ ...), because (+ ...) stands for native integer addition, and floating-point addition is a different operation.

Hi, I was dabbing a bit with jolt, and noticed that the floating-point support is broken. .(+ 0.5 0.5) => 272077144 I don't remember if Ian claimed that floating point actually worked at some point, or if I misread SVN commit comments that were only about partial steps towards floating point support. Anyone? Thanks, Josh _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
