Algol68 has the type BITS, that is converted to INT with the ABS operator. The numbers above would be: > 2r1011, 8r7621, 16rc26b "r" is for radix: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix The standard supports 2r, 4r, 8r & 16r only. The standard supports LONG BITS, LONG LONG BITS etc, but does not include UNSIGNED. Compare gcc's: bash$ cat num_lit.c #include <stdio.h> main(){ printf("%d %d %d %d\n",0xffff,07777,9999,0b1111); } bash$ ./num_lit 65535 4095 9999 15 With Algol68's: https://sourceforge.net/projects/algol68/ bash$ cat num_lit.a68 main:( printf(($g$,ABS 16rffff,ABS 8r7777,9999,ABS 2r1111,$l$)) ) bash$ algol68g ./num_lit.a68 +65535 +4095 +9999 +15 Enjoy N -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
