Function: PRINTUSING

Purpose: Print numbers using a format image

File: printusing.c

Author: M. Vogelaar

Use: INTEGER PRINTUSING( FORMAT , input CHARACTER ARRAY
NUMBER , input DOUBLE PRECISION
RESULT ) output CHARACTER ARRAY

PRINTUSING Field width in format
FORMAT String containing format image
NUMBER Number to be formatted
RESULT String containing formatted number


Description: PRINTUSING is used to print double precision numbers
in an user specified format. Input is a format image
'FORMAT' consisting of characters representing the
wanted output format for 'NUMBER'. The formatted number
is returned in 'RESULT'.
The syntax is for 'FORMAT'is:

flag(s) Zero or more flags, in any order, which modify the
meaning of the conversion specification. The flag
characters and their meanings are:

- The result of the conversion is left-
justified within the field.

+ The result of a signed conversion always
begins with a sign, "+" or "-".

string Characters, some with special meaning.
If the string (f.i. FFFFF.FF or gggg.gg or wwwww)
contains no dot, the number of characters specify
a minimum field width. For an output field, if the
converted value has fewer characters than the field
width, it is padded on the left (or right, if the
left-adjustment flag, - has been given) to the field
width.
If the string contains a dot, the total number of
characters including the dot is the minimum field width
and the number of characters after the dot is the
precision.

The characters are used to determine the conversion
type. If the string contains an:

'e' or 'E'
The floating-point-number argument is
printed in the style [-]drddde+dd,
where there is one digit before the
radix character, and the number of
digits after it is equal to the
precision. The E conversion character
produces a number with E introducing
the exponent instead of e. The
exponent always contains at least two
digits. However, if the value to be
printed requires an exponent greater
than two digits, additional exponent
digits are printed as necessary.

'g' or 'G'

The floating-point-number argument is
printed in style f or e (or int style E
n the case of a G conversion
character), with the precision
specifying the number of significant
digits. The style used depends on the
value converted; style e is used only
if the exponent resulting from the
conversion is less than -4 or greater
than or equal to the precision.

others
Strings without 'e', 'E', 'g' and 'G'
indicate a floating point conversion.
The floating point number argument is
printed in decimal notation in the
style [-]dddrddd, where the number of
digits after the radix character, r, is
equal to the precision specification.

If the result of a conversion is longer than the
field width, an asterisk is returned. If the
input number is a blank, a 'b' is returned.



Examples: Format string: +eeeeee.eeee
Number: 43345.5436
Result: +4.3346e+04
Remark: exponential format
signed conversion
field width: 12
precision: 4

Format string: gggg.ggggg
Number: 34.43
Result: 34.430
Remark: Field width is 10
Number of significant digits is 5

Format string: +ffff.ff
Number: 23.456
Result: +23.46
Remark: signed conversion

Format string: -ffff
Number: 345.87
Result: 346
Remark: left justified


Format string: -+ffff.fff
Number: 34.43
Result: +34.430
Remark: left justified
signed conversion

Format string: eee.eeee
Number: 234.43
Result: *
Remark: Field width too small
for conversion

Format string: ffff.ff
Number: blank
Result: b
Remark: input was a blank
