Post by: 0x69 on May 13, 2019, 05:04:20 AM

Hi,

When I try to execute

Code Select Expand
(+ 1.1 1.2)

I get error:

~~Quote~~ERR: value expected in function + : .1

NewLisp version is v.10.7.1 64-bit on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS) IPv4/6 UTF-8 libffi

What's the problem here with floats and how to fix it ?

Hello,

Take a look at your locale with (set-locale).

This sets the locale to german with , as decimal seperator:

(set-locale "de_DE")

And note that + is for integer-math. Use (add ... ...) for floats.

And the doc has good explanations for that. ;-)
