If the value in S is a positive number, the first ASCII code can be stored in D; if the value in S

The value in S +1 must be between 2≦S2+1≦20; the sign (+,-) and the digits in an integer or decimal

Example 1
Suppose the number of characters is eight. Two floating-point numbers examples are -1.2345678 and
123456. The calculation is as follows.

After the conversion, if the floating-point number is stored in S
the instruction rounds off the digits in the decimal number. The floating-point string does not have to fill all of
S +1.
