pub fn computed_float_text(
value: &str,
significant: u8,
spelling: &FloatArithmetic<'_>,
) -> StringExpand description
A floating number as %.{significant}g writes it, computed on an
engine with no printf.
The power of ten is the floor of the magnitude’s base-ten logarithm, less
one where the logarithm rounded up past a magnitude just under a power of
ten. The significant digits are the magnitude divided by that power and
scaled to a whole number of significant digits, rounded; a rounding that
carries into one more digit, as 9.999… does, adds one to the power, and
the extra digit, a zero, is never read. float_text lays the pieces out
and signed_float_text adds the sign. A zero never reaches the
logarithm.
Uses NULLIF, ABS, ROUND with two arguments and CASE besides the
spellings it is handed.
