Hi all,
Why do these lines not compile?
Const MAXDOUBLE = 1.79769313486231570e + 308; Const MINDOUBLE = 2.22507385850720140e - 308; Const MAXFLOAT = 3.40282346638528860e + 38; Const MINFLOAT = 1.17549435082228750e - 38;
GPC doesn't like the spaces between e and +. Use
1.79e+308
instead of
1.79e + 308
(I am not sure what the official Pascal standard says about this; Borland Pascal accepts the spaces).
