Talk:Formatted numeric output
(Redirected from Talk:Zero fill)
Poorly named?
I was expecting this page to be about initializing memory, like C's memset(addr, 0, len);
Perhaps a better page name for formatted numeric output? --IanOsgood 13:31, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
I agree with the above completely, so I've renamed it. --Charles Childers 9 June 2007
What to display?
Some implementations only display the single number "00007.125" as specified in the task description. Others display many different format options. Which one should it be? --PauliKL 14:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- I suppose that "Express a number in decimal as a fixed-length string with leading zeros" is the guide, so it is enough to show "007.125" (i.e. show how to specify a fixed-length output string and the fact that leading zeros must fill the room) --ShinTakezou 15:08, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
