Description

Feature

Implement the g, G, e, E, n, and % format codes for floats.

  • g
  • G
  • e
  • E
  • n
  • %

A few examples from CPython:

>>> '{:g}'.format(10.0)
'10'
>>> '{:.1g}'.format(10.0)
'1e+01'
>>> '{:e}'.format(10.0)
'1.000000e+01'
>>> '{:.1e}'.format(10.0)
'1.0e+01'
>>> '{:n}'.format(999999.1234)
'999999'
>>> '{:n}'.format(1000000.1234)
'1e+06'
>>> '{:.8n}'.format(1000000.1234)
'1000000.1'
>>> '{:.11n}'.format(1000000.1234)
'1000000.1234'
>>> '{:%}'.format(10.0)
'1000.000000%'
