[PD] Vanilla method for symbol -> float

[Antoine Rousseau]

Hi Joao,

you can now use a simple [f] to convert a symbol to float, e.g:

[5(
|
[symbol 3.$1(       // generate "3.5" symbol
|
[f]
|
[print]

prints 3.5 (i.e a float)

But the most powerful related tool is [fudiparse]:

[51 46 53(     // list of chars '3' '.' '5'
|
[fudiparse]
|
[print]

also prints the float 3.5.
