Floating-point numbers may be specified in any of several common formats making use of the decimal digits, the decimal point \fB.\fR, the characters \fBe\fR or \fBE\fR indicating scientific notation, and -the sign characters \fB+\fR or \fB-\fR. For example, all of the +the sign characters \fB+\fR or \fB\-\fR. For example, all of the following are valid floating-point numbers: 2.1, 3., 6e4, 7.91e+16.
