Printf
#
Printf.@printf — Macro
@printf([io::IO], "%Fmt", args...)
Print args using C printf style format specification string. Optionally, an IO may be passed as the first argument to redirect output.
Examples
julia> @printf "Hello %s" "world"
Hello world
julia> @printf "Scientific notation %e" 1.234
Scientific notation 1.234000e+00
julia> @printf "Scientific notation three digits %.3e" 1.23456
Scientific notation three digits 1.235e+00
julia> @printf "Decimal two digits %.2f" 1.23456
Decimal two digits 1.23
julia> @printf "Padded to length 5 %5i" 123
Padded to length 5 123
julia> @printf "Padded with zeros to length 6 %06i" 123
Padded with zeros to length 6 000123
julia> @printf "Use shorter of decimal or scientific %g %g" 1.23 12300000.0
Use shorter of decimal or scientific 1.23 1.23e+07
For a systematic specification of the format, see here. See also @sprintf to get the result as a String instead of it being printed.
Caveats
Inf and NaN are printed consistently as Inf and NaN for flags %a, %A, %e, %E, %f, %F, %g, and %G. Furthermore, if a floating point number is equally close to the numeric values of two possible output strings, the output string further away from zero is chosen.
Examples
julia> @printf("%f %F %f %F", Inf, Inf, NaN, NaN)
Inf Inf NaN NaN
julia> @printf "%.0f %.1f %f" 0.5 0.025 -0.0078125
0 0.0 -0.007812
