:I would stick to the numeric literals that you could write in your source and get accepted as a number. If your compiler or interpreter doesn't accept locale-aware things like extra dots or commas then I'd say you were fine, (but what do I know). |

:I guess examples should note if there are types of numeric literals of their language that the routines ''don't'' accept, but I think that some examples were written to implement something seen in other examples rather than with an idea to cover all the numeric literal forms the language allows. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 02:44, 7 July 2010 (UTC) |

It just seems to me that Mathematica should have ways to recognize many more number types than the current entry seems to suggest. compare the E, Forth and Python entries. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 14:54, 26 August 2010 (UTC) |
