I just ran into a problem where I can't read numbers that I wrote:
(This is on an x86 CPU)
STk> (define n 1.79769313486233e+308)
#[undefined]
STk> (format (current-output-port) "%s\n" n)
Inf.0
STk> (define n Inf.0)
*** Error:
unbound variable: inf.0
Current eval stack:
__________________
0 (%syntax-define n inf.0)
STk>
Is there any way to read and write infinity or minus infinity? I
supose I could check each number and write the value shown above it it
was too big.
