in reply to Using (s)printf()
I tried to use the example given in the text. This is what I get (using perl v5.6.1 built for cygwin):
printf("%.2f", 9.333333);
This prints "9.33". Actually, this is what I expect, but the article says it should be 9.34.
If I try the following: printf("%.1f", 9.55);
I get 9.6, which is OK, but if I try printf("%.1f", 43.55);
I get 43.5, which is rounded the wrong way.
Can someone explain this? (Please send me an email (oz1lo001@sneakemail.com)).
