Created page with "= Action = Instruct the compiler to use an alternative conversion routine for representation of a single. &nb..."

New page

= Action =

Instruct the compiler to use an alternative conversion routine for representation of a single.

 

 

= Syntax =

CONFIG SINGLE = SCIENTIFIC , DIGITS = value

<div style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 4px;">

Digits

| valign="top" width="100%" style="width: 508px; border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" |
A numeric constant with a value between 0 and 7.

A value of 0 will result in no trailing zero's.

A value between 1-7 can be used to specify the number of digits behind the comma.

</div>
 

When a conversion is performed from numeric single variable, to a string, for example when you PRINT a single, or when you use the STR() function to convert a single into a string, a special conversion routine is used that will convert into human readable output. You will get an output of digits and a decimal point.

This is well suited for showing the value on an LCD display. But there is a downside also. The routine is limited in the way that it can not shown very big or very small numbers correct.

 

The CONFIG SINGLE will instruct the compiler to use a special version of the conversion routine. This version will use scientific notation such as : 12e3.

You can specify how many digits you want to be included after the decimal point.
