== Usage ==

The number of displayed decimal places is controlled by the display format.

To change the style to `s`, try either `format s` or `format("s")`. Note that quotes are required by the second form.

Built-in styles include:

 * `short` (4 decimal places)
 * `long` (15 decimal places)
 * `hex`
 * `rat` (ratios)

To access and store the current style, use `fmt = format`. To do that '''''and''''' set the style to `s`, try `fmt = format("s")`.



=== Maximum Values ===

To access the maximum values of data types, try:

{{{
>> format hex
>> intmax('uint64')

ans = uint64
   ffffffffffffffff

>>> realmax

ans = uint64
   7fefffffffffffff
}}}
