Re^2: Number too big to fit in integer

"…Converts a decimal number to scientific notation…"

What follows seems to me to be quite a lot of lines. See here for some alternatives: Decimal to Scientific notation. Speaking of qbasic: this is a kind of Retro computing, isn't it?

"See here for some alternatives" I see, but that alternative treats the input as a number, and as a result, you may lose precision sometimes. "Speaking of qbasic: this is a kind of Retro computing, isn't it?" Yes, I am a member of several old computer groups and BASIC groups on Facebook. I also like Windows XP and TinyPerl 5.8 which are both considered ancient stuff. But I like to push the limits to see how much modern stuff we can do with old hardware and software.	[reply]
