Const difference between dev 1.5 and stable 1.4

Thanks Fellippe, I can confirm it works again as expected.

Uhh, now scientific notation is not highlighted correctly (did it before??) and adding a type suffix makes it invalid at all.

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. a# = 1.2345E+5#
2.  
3. a# = 1.2345D+5#
4.  

Funny enough, the highligter here does it at least for E exponents :)

As side note for @FellippeHeitor, I'am already working on the latest Github issue related to DATAs and type suffixes. As I made the &B additions last year, I'm still familiar with the invoked libqb functions. So you'll see a pull request soon.

Great news about DATA, Rho! Thank you so much for looking into it.

Now for sci-notation... oh well, here I go again! 😅

@RhoSigma I've fixed the highlighter (again) to deal properly with scientific notation. However this:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. a# = 1.2345E+5#

That is, using type symbols after scientific notation, will remain illegal. Since the E and D are already there to imply precision, as per the wiki:

E denotes SINGLE precision accuracy and D denotes DOUBLE precision accuracy in Qbasic. D and E are part of the number.

And since it was illegal in QB4.5 too, it makes no sense to try to make it valid right now.

Yep, that makes sense.

Guess that's acceptable too then.

BTW - Did you actually push the fix, can't see any new commit at Github, most recent is 14 hours ago.

I'm working on a separate branch during the day and merging at night, this is today's: https://github.com/QB64Team/qb64/commits/IdeTweaks
