                           Any numeric value,  represented as a decimal number, in
                        floating point format, or as a ratio.
                      
                           To represent a floating point number,  expressed in scientific notation,
                        ‘E notation’, a variant of
                        ‘exponential notation’, may be used. 
                        In this format, the value is expressed as two numbers separated by the
                        letter E. The first number, the significand (sometimes called the
                        mantissa) is given in decimal format, while the second is an
                        integer. The value is obtained by multiplying the mantissa by 10 the
                        number of times indicated by the integer. Thus the value represented
                        in decimal notation as 1000.0 might be represented in scientific
                        notation as 10E3.
                      
                           A value expressed as a ratio is represented by two integer values
                        separated by a solidus (/) character. Thus, the value represented in
                        decimal notation as 0.5 might be represented as a ratio by the string
                        1/2.
