- Syntax
-
- MANTISSA( <nFloatingPointNumber> ) --> nMantissa
- Arguments
-
- <nFloatingPointNumber> Designate any Harbour number.
- Returns
-
- MANTISSA() returns the mantissa of the <nFloatingPointNumber> number.
- Description
-
- This function supplements EXPONENT() to return the mantissa of the <nFloatingPointNumber> number.
- Note: The mantissa value can be 0 or in the range of 1 to 2.
- The following calculation reproduces the original value:
- MANTISSA(<nFloatingPointNumber>)* 2^EXPONENT(<nFloatingPointNumber>) = <nFloatingPointNumber>
