annotate lisp/float-sup.el @ 46205:6676ac71682b

Update mouse button info. Don't give the names of Emacs commands that the characters run. Clarify what SPC and DEL do. Clarify the description of the minibuffer. Wording change for completion. Explain Mouse-2 better.

;;; Commentary:

;;; Code:

;; Provide a meaningful error message if we are running on
;; bare (non-float) emacs.

(if (fboundp 'atan)
    nil
  (error "Floating point was disabled at compile time"))

;; provide an easy hook to tell if we are running with floats or not.
;; define pi and e via math-lib calls. (much less prone to killer typos.)
(defconst pi (* 4 (atan 1)) "The value of Pi (3.1415926...).")
(defconst e (exp 1) "The value of e (2.7182818...).")

;; Careful when editing this file ... typos here will be hard to spot.
