PureBasic Forums - English

I am currently experimenting with several programming languages trying to find the best one for putting together a program for generating pathology reports. I have used Purebasic, Powerbasic, VB.NET, RealBasic, C, and Liberty Basic. Needless to say, Purebasic is by far the best among these for my needs. I must say that I am amazed that this language is largely constructed by a single person. Great job.

P.S. The only thing I bady need, however, is double floating point precision. Hopefully Purebasic 4.0 will bring this!

Yes. PB is probably the best of all, in general.

Right now there are ways to do double floats. But yes, in a later version
I think it will be native. If I was on my other laptop, I could post some
code for the double floats. And I'm at work, and it's Monday, so there
is a good chance, that I wont be able to boot up until this evening.

Maybe someone else can post the example ..

Thanks NoahPhense,

I look forward to seeing your code. Currently, I am using the F64 library to perform double float calculations. I am thankful for this library. However, converting long equations into the F64 format is often cumbersome. I definitely look foward to having doubles native to Purebasic.

I saw this floating point library a while back... You might want to check it out...

Hey Akee,

Thanks for the information on the floating point library. I will check it out.

You're welcome...
