Two notes:
- the remark I made for 6/8 (comparing empty strings),
- for 7/8 and 8/8: the format specification %3.4f is not very useful.
"3" is the field width, "4" is the precision, and the latter means for
%f the number of digits printed after the radix character. It's not
useful to specify a smaller field width (which covers the entire output
string) than precision here.
Other than these nothing pokes me in the eye.
