printf question

[Bdanielz]

Is it possible to have printf format my output from

5250.000000000000 
5512.500000000000 
5788.125000000001 
6077.531250000001 
6381.407812500002 
6700.478203125002 
7035.502113281253 
7387.277218945315 
7756.641079892581 
8144.47313388721

to this

5250.0
5512.5
5788.125
6077.53125
6381.4078125
6700.478203125
7035.50211328125
7387.277218945313
7756.641079892578
8144.473133887207

or do I have to process my data outside of printf?

printf("%5.1f", var);

This tells the compiler to reserve 5 spaces for a floating point value with 1 number past the decimal. So if you have a 10 digit number change the 5 to 10, and change the 1 to however many decimal places you want. Keep in mind the first number includes the decimal spaces, so a 10 would be for a number that is up to 10 digits including the numbers after the decimal, after that it just overflows the 10 spaces.
