Dear R-ers,
I am a gratuate student from South China University of Technology. I fond
the function 'sprintf' in R2.10.1 have a little bug(?):
When you type in the example codes:
> sprintf("%s is %f feet tall\n", "Sven", 7.1)
and R returns:
[1] "Sven is 7.100000 feet tall\n"
this is very different from the 'sprintf' function in C/C++, for in C/C++,
the format string "\n" usually represents a new line, but here, just
the plain text "\n"!
Is it a bug, or a deliberate design?
Thanks for your attention!
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Baoli Qin
