only kerning values affect the appearance of a prompt.
Example
?
num
describes a number. It always has two operands: the first shows the number as used for computations (internal
num
precision), and the second shows the number as displayed. When fewer digits are displayed than are used internally,
an ellipsis appears after the number.
