Is PI supported ? about basicv2 HOT 11 CLOSED

You can use Π in text sources.

from basicv2.

With following line: 10 print Π
console prints 3.14159265, but the output of compiled code is still 0.

BTW: The console accepts both forms of PI: the Greek Capital Letter Pi (Π, U+03A0, &Pi) and the Greek Small Letter Pi (π, U+03C0, &pi), which looks like the PI in Commodore Basic.

You are right...strange. I guess I've never tested it in this context, because I really dislike the idea of having an extra symbol for PI in the first place hence I never use it but write 3.1415...directly. I'll have a look. Most likely some kind of encoding conversion issue...

from basicv2.

Should be fixed now.

The function PI is now working :-)
But there is one little difference between compiler and console when printing character PI (print "π") with text files:
with compiled code it is printed as expected, but with console the is something like "|PI|".
Could you also fix this ?

from basicv2.

I'll have a look. That should actually happen inside strings only...

from basicv2.

I can't reproduce this. Can you give me an example, please?

from basicv2.

Here is the testprogram:
0 print chr$(126)
1 print "Π"
2 print "π"

With compiler and emulator there are 3 π printed, as expected.
But with console there is the output with bash (I use wsl):

$ ./run_gui.sh
com.sixtyfour.extensions.textmode.ConsoleSupport registered as a BASIC extension!
com.sixtyfour.extensions.graphics.GraphicsBasic registered as a BASIC extension!
3 commands compiled in: 56ms
~
{pi}
{pi}

The output for line 1 and 2 in the gui is the same as for 'print "{pi}"' , line 0 has correct output.
Sorry, I don't know how to add a screenshot.

from basicv2.

I see. That's actually "by design"...which doesn't mean, that it's a good design. I'll have a look at it...

from basicv2.

Should behave better now...

from basicv2.

Yes, now compiler and console have the same correct behavior :-)
