## 22.2. Printing Floats [sec_22-1-3-1-3]

In the absence of `SYS::WRITE-FLOAT-DECIMAL`, floating point numbers are output in radix 2. This function is defined in `floatprint.lisp` and is not available if you run CLISP without a memory image (which you should never do anyway!)

If `*PRINT-READABLY*` is true, `*READ-DEFAULT-FLOAT-FORMAT*` has no influence on the way `FLOAT`s are printed.
