Stack Number Input


1. The problem discusses how to enter common mathematical numbers and constants in STACK, a system for mathematical input. 2. Numbers such as 1, -23, 2.614, and fractions like 3/5 can be entered directly as they appear. 3. The constants \(\pi \approx 3.14\) and \(e \approx 2.718\) can be entered by typing either \texttt{Pi} or \texttt{pi} for \(\pi\), and \texttt{e} or \texttt{exp(1)} for \(e\). 4. Note STACK is case sensitive, so \texttt{PI} or \texttt{E} will not be accepted as these constants. 5. STACK distinguishes between exact and approximate answers. Whole numbers, fractions, and constants like \(\pi\) and \(e\) are considered exact. 6. Decimal numbers like 0.5 are considered approximations, so for exact answers one should enter fractions like \(\frac{1}{2}\) instead of decimals. This explanation helps users understand the correct input format for exactness in STACK.
