Bug in printShowingDecimalPlaces: ??

Hi Folks,

is there a reason why Float>>printOn: aStream showingDecimalPlaces: placesDesired

always prints '0.0' or was it just forgotten to deal with the desired decimal places in this case? Nicolas?

Cheers

Herbert

Looks ok to me:

  ws := WriteStream on: ''.
  Float pi printOn: ws showingDecimalPlaces: 4.
  ws contents ==> '3.1416'

Where are you seeing the problem?

only if you give it the value 0.0

Hi,

sorry email is not Twitter so:

only if you give it the value 0.0

this should read:

Sorry for not being clear enough, there is a special case for 0.0 in the method which just does:
aStream nextPutAll: '0.0'
So I wondered what was the intention of this.

Cheers,

Herbert
