How do you print a decimal value?
2 points by lark 3658 days ago | 3 comments
I would like to print out a number that contains decimals. How do you do that in Arc?

  arc> (pr (/ 3 4))             ; I want to get: 0.75
There's a previous thread on this, but not a function that returns decimals: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=10367

Here's how to do it:

  arc> (num (/ 3 4))           
  ".75"
