Re: [Flashforth-devel] Free form number

[Mikael N. <mik...@pp...>]

I could easily extend the FF >number so that it
would work as today but just ignore certain punctuation.

What would be the best choice for punctuation ?
Perhaps the comma character.

Or use the period anywhere in number to indicate that it as double number.
Not having any punctuation in  single numbers. This is how
it is described in Forth Programmers Handbook.

Single precision number
#10,345
%1011,1101,1111,0000
$fad,e

Double precision numbers
%1011_1101_1111_0000.
#10,345.
$fade,babe.
$f,a,d,e,b,a,b,e.


You proposal with separate parsing words can be implemented as an add-on 
if wanted.
