Abstract
This paper gives an overview of single-number interval I/O which provides a convenient method for inputting and outputting intervals. With this technique, each interval is normally represented externally as a single decimal number. Single-number interval I/O has been implemented in interval-enhanced versions of GNU’s and Sun’s Fortran compilers, an interval calculator, and a Java(TM)1 application program interface. Complete details on single-number interval I/O in Fortran are given in the Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 Interval Arithmetic Specifications.
