The rationale for the accuracy test is best explained with an example : suppose we write the constant " 333.333 " somewhere in the program . For six digits of accuracy to be maintained , it must evaluate internally to some value between ...

Underflow , whether for expressions or constants , is only recommended as an exception , but , in any case , zero must be supplied when the magnitude of the result is below the minimum representable by the implementation .

Underflow on INPUT is an optional exception and has a different recovery procedure , governed by the semantics for numeric constants rather than INPUT . It , therefore , is tested in its own separate program .

If , for instance , you respond to " INPUT A , B , C " with : " 2 , , 3 " , it may be taken as a wrong type , since numeric - constant was not supplied for B , or as insufficient data , since only two , not three , were supplied .
