Decimal Place
« on: July 31, 2017, 08:35:26 PM »
I have a local variable "number1".
(setq number1 (getreal "\n\nGet Number: "))

I'd like to convert it to a string with 5 decimal digits (i.e. xxx.ddddd and xxx can be any number, no digit places limit)
The string I'd like to get is these formats:
"XXX.00000", if the input number is XXX. (In this case the input is an integer.)
"XXX.d0000", if the input number is XXX.d
"XXX.dd000", if the input number is XXX.dd
"XXX.ddd00", if the input number is XXX.ddd
"XXX.dddd0", if the input number is XXX.dddd
"XXX.ddddd", if the input number is XXX.ddddd

Thanks in advance.

Also beware of the effect of DIMZIN - I describe this issue here.

Thank you Lee for the valuable info.  :laugh:

I have this issue before but could not figure it out.
Now I know it is caused by the value of DIMZIN is set to.
