Node:Reals, Next:, Previous:Direct Scheme, Up:Lexical details



Reals

Formed from an optional minus sign and a sequence of digits followed by a required decimal point and an optional exponent such as -1.2e3. Reals can be built up using the usual operations: `+', `-', `*', and `/', with parentheses for grouping.

A real constant can be followed by one of the dimension keywords: \mm \pt, \in, or \cm, for millimeters, points, inches and centimeters, respectively. This converts the number that is the internal representation of that dimension.
