* ''CV'' functions ([[CVD]], [[CVS]], [[CVI]], [[CVL]], [[CVDMBF]], [[CVSMBF]]) are used to convert values encoded by ''MK$'' functions ([[MKD$]], [[MKS$]], [[MKI$]], [[MKL$]], [[MKDMBF$]], [[MKSMBF$]]).
* '''QB64''' has [[_CV]] and [[_MK$]] functions which can also deal with extended [[Data types|data types]].
* [[SINGLE]] values can range up to 7 decimal point digits. Decimal point accuracy depends on whole value places taken.

''Example 1:'' Showcases the reduced space to store an encoded number.
{{CodeStart}}
a! = 700.2213
{{Cl|PRINT}} "Value of a!:"; a!
b$ = {{Cl|MKSMBF$}}(a!)
{{Cl|PRINT}} "Value of a! encoded using MKSMBF$: "; b$
{{Cl|PRINT}} "The string above, decoded using CVSMBF:"; {{Cl|CVDMBF}}(b$)

Value of a!: 700.2213
Value of a# encoded using MKSMBF$: *♫/è
The string above, decoded using CVSMBF: 700.2213

:Since the representation of a double-precision number can use up to 7 ASCII characters (seven bytes), writing to a file using [[MKSMBF$]] conversion, and then reading back with the [[CVSMBF]] conversion can save up to 3 bytes of storage space.
