Dear John et al
The quote from Raul below is the sort of information I am seeking
whether in documentation or in phrases of J that I can use.
I was unable to execute the phrase you provided for []CT comparison
tolerance
I have not yet tried the phrase someone else provided to correct this
As I mentioned in an earlier post some of your answers will make
sense to me as I try them which I am doing.
Thanks for your attention to these questions.
If you have a further reference about the internal representation of
various numbers and constants such as 1p1 I would be greatful if you
send me a link. Otherwise I will ask a question with a new subject
as it arises.
Thanks
Donna

After all, internally, the number 1r3 is represented as something
analogous to (<(,1);,3), and the number 111111r333337 is represented
as something analogous to (<111 111;333 337). If J can do that
internally, is there some reason why application code can't resort
to similar measures?

Now this was my original point!
I wanted to know the SIGNIFICANT digits. (oddly enough the subject of
my post) and I wanted this to be reflected no matter what the for of
display or internal storage.
see my IMD (in my dreams) post
Donna:
I understand your concern about significant digits. I thought I'd
addressed it in

Was there something there that was not clear?
Best wishes,
