I have a function that is being passed a float value. In my function, I
will be formatting that float value to a string (e.g. 1234.56 to 1,234.56)
and returning it. My problem is that I do not know the number of decimal
places being passed. The float value could be 123.456 or it could be
1234.56 or 12.3456. Is there a way I can determine how many decimal
positions that float value has?
"Advanced Palm Programming" by Mann & Rischpater has an excellent routine
for formatting a float value to a string but unfortunately, it expects the
calling function to tell it how many decimal places to format. My App is a
Plug-in to another Palm App so I don't have the luxury of knowing upfront
how many decimal places the float value has.
Thanks,
Dave
