Forth's number formatting words are different than many other languages because they are active code rather than using a pattern string. This small set of seven routines ( >DIGIT <# #> # #S HOLD SIGN ) allow arbitrary number formatting of double precision and single precision numbers. The output is typically a Forth style stack-string consisting of an address and a length. |
