point, comma, semicolon confusion

[cyrille de brébisson]

Hello,

Yep, you got it...

Although it is nice to be able to use one native "separator", it, unfortunately, only works well when you only talk to your own group :-(

Prime does have a number format to make it easier to do simple math in your idiom...

However, when programming it becomes much more complicated as, traditionally, characters such as ',' or ';' already have well defined use... causing conflicts...

Some efforts have been made to allow coma folks (I am one of the BTW) to program in coma mode, BUT they are limitations

Similarly in the CAS, which is in fact a scripting language, does not support coma mode at all...

The #pragma directive was created to allow program to be made compatible...
