I'm sure you've already looked up dyadic ". following Roger's advice.
Additionally, ". looks like it should be related to ": , and both look
like they should be related to strings. On the slim chance you haven't
investigated the documentation, numbers also works with classical
negative notation.
_999 ". '-22.3E-2 _8.2'
_0.223 _8.2

This is possibly a very simple question with a very simple answer, but
I cannot find it.
To convert an integer to a literal I can use ":
e.g. ": 5
returns '5', as a string literal.
But I am not sure how to do the reverse.
How can I read '5.32' as a float or '4' as an integer?I looked in
Nuvoc andhttp://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dx003.htm
and couldn't find the answer.
