Hi,
I've been wondering what the postfix hash syntax does. This is what
happens when I append a # to an integer:
> 9#
90.0
> 9##
900.0
> 9#####
900000.0
Floating point numbers stay the same:
> 22.3#
22.3
> 22.3##
22.3
> 22.3###
22.3
I can't find this syntax in either the Racket Guide or the Reference.
In fact, I accidentally stumbled upon this behavior when a friend
mistyped 53 as "5#".
Thanks.
