NumberMarks

Usage

• NumberMarks is an option for InputForm and related functions that specifies whether ` marks should be included in the printed forms of approximate numbers.

Notes

• The default setting for NumberMarks is given by the value of $NumberMarks.

• NumberMarks->True indicates that ` should be used in all approximate numbers, both machine-precision and arbitrary-precision ones.

• NumberMarks -> Automatic indicates that ` should be used in arbitrary-precision but not machine-precision numbers.

• NumberMarks -> False indicates that ` should never be used in outputting numbers.

• Number marks are used to indicate the type of numbers, and their precision or accuracy.

• The *^ form for scientific notation is always used in InputForm, and is independent of NumberMarks.
