[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51515] sprintf not rounding correctly

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51515 (project octave):

What version of Matlab and what platform (Linux, Mac, Windows) did you test
with?  As Andreas indicated, it may vary simply because of the platform and
the underlying C libraries.

Also, could you test the following:


sprintf ('%1.1g|', [2.5, -2.5, 3.5, -3.5])


Finally, as always, if you want a particular result it is best to code for
that rather than rely on implicit and undocumented defaults which could change
from Matlab version to version.  In this case, there are functions floor,
ceil, round, fix, and roundb so the programmer can get exactly the desired
rounding behavior.  I would recode to


sprintf ('%1.1g', round (x))


if the desired behavior is regular rounding.
