Do we have a format that always includes a decimal point and a given number
of significant digits, but otherwise drops unnecessary characters? For
example, if I wanted 5 digits, I'd want the following:
Round to 5 digits:
1.234567 -> "1.2346"
Drop unnecessary zeros:
1.23 -> "1.23"
Force inclusion of a decimal point:
1 -> "1."
Duncan,
Maybe sprintf() will work for you. As it's a wrapper for C sprintf,
it should have its functionality.
Maybe, but with which format string?
