Example
Suppose the number of characters is eight. Two floating-point numbers examples are -123.456789 and
123456. The calculation is as follows.
D number
D
D + 1
D + 2
D + 3
D + 4
D + 5
D + 6
After the conversion, if the floating-point number is stored in S
digits.
_6
The conversion result of the string length for the floating number -123.456789 in eight characters is 13 (the
ending character excluded).
The conversion result of the string length for the floating number 12345 in eight characters is 10 (the ending
character excluded).
The floating-point string does not have to fill all the characters.
Example 1
The floating-point number in (D1, D0= 12.3456) is converted into the decimal format in a string (D4=0, D5=8).
