2.4.1 Decimal Literals

A decimal_literal is a numeric_literal in the conventional decimal notation (that is, the base is ten).

Syntax

   
       decimal_literal ::= numeral [.numeral] [exponent]

       numeral ::= digit {[underline] digit}

       exponent ::= E [+] numeral | E - numeral

An exponent for an integer literal shall not have a minus sign.

Static Semantics

An underline character in a numeric_literal does not affect its meaning. The letter E of an exponent can be written either in lower case or in upper case, with the same meaning.

An exponent indicates the power of ten by which the value of the decimal_literal without the exponent is to be multiplied to obtain the value of the decimal_literal with the exponent.

Examples

Examples of decimal literals:

   
       12        0      1E6    123_456           --  integer literals

       12.0      0.0    0.456  3.14159_26        --  real literals
