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>
