<h2>Number Types</h2>
<hr>
<p>In Nyquist/XLISP only two types of numers exist:</p>
<ul>
<li><nobr><b>fixnum</b> - integer numbers</nobr></li>
<li><nobr><b>flonum</b> - floating-point numbers</nobr></li>
</ul>
<p>In Nyquist/XLISP, there are no ratios or complex numbers. Even if the
math functions in this section are modelled after <nobr>Common Lisp</nobr>,
no attempt is made to emulate these numbers.</p>
<a name="integer-limits"></a>
<hr>
<h2>Integer Limits</h2>
<hr>
<pre class="example">
(setq <font color="#AA5500">*most-positive-fixnum*</font> 2147483647)
(setq <font color="#AA5500">*most-negative-fixnum*</font> -2147483648)
</pre>
<p><b>Note:</b> these are the limits for <nobr>32-bit</nobr> machines.</p>
