I was playing around with FORMAT when I noticed that some number literals are mishandled. (format nil "~r" 1e12) => "one trillion" 1e12 => 1.0E12 That works, but not this: (format nil "~r" 1e15) => "nine hundred and ninety-nine trillion, nine hundred and ninety-nine billion, nine hundred and ninety-five million, nine hundred and four thousand" 1e15 => 1.0E15 Until that works, I'll stick with: (format nil "~r" 1000000000000000) => "one quadrillion" Cheers, Andrew Pennebaker |
