I just posted a script that changes big numbers into small numbers by adding
pairs of digits in the original number.
It works by coercing numbers into strings & lists & back again, and thus (in
it's current form) only works with positive integers. It will also choke on
numbers represented in exponential notation.
So, my question is, at what point does AppleScript start using exponential
notation to represent numbers? And is there a way to convert exponential
notation into, er, regular notation? (Ok. That was 2 questions.)
