Hello, In Fortran, when I can represent an number in exponent format (d.ddEdd) the numbers before the decimal point can be deleted for accomodate to the precision. For example, if I want to print -0.555E+01 (normalized between 0, 1 is the Fortran representation) in 9 characters with 3 decimal places, Fortran prints the number as -.555E+01. Could this behaviour emulated with gcc. I surfed the web and I think that in standard C can be done but, is possible with gcc? Perhaps any GNU extension?
