| Summary | PERCENT! values with exponent notation not allowed on input, but can be made by MAKE/TO |
|---|---|
| Description | Like their close cousins, decimal values, percent values can be made by MAKE/TO from a block containing two numbers, of which the second is interpreted as an exponent (E notation). However, on input, such a value is not recognized. |
| Example code |
>> make percent! [1 18] == 1e18% >> 1e18% ** Syntax error: invalid "decimal" -- "1e18%" |

Possibly related to #1475 |

It's the same as #1475, but with some added details.
The issue here is either in MOLD or LOAD. MOLD is generating scientific notation for certain percent! values, and LOAD isn't recognizing that scientific notation. So either MOLD needs to be changed to not generate that syntax, or LOAD changed to recognize it. The behavior of MAKE and TO is fine as is. MAKE and TO don't do any printing or syntax generation, the value is output by MOLD. |
