There's a typo in the docs. Please follow http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language and find the below text, and fix the word 'Postive' to 'Positive', indicated between >>> and <<<:
'g'
General format. For a given precision p >= 1, this rounds the number to p significant digits and then formats the result in either fixed-point format or in scientific notation, depending on its magnitude.
The precise rules are as follows: suppose that the result formatted with presentation type 'e' and precision p-1 would have exponent exp. Then if -4 <= exp < p, the number is formatted with presentation type 'f' and precision p-1-exp. Otherwise, the number is formatted with presentation type 'e' and precision p-1. In both cases insignificant trailing zeros are removed from the significand, and the decimal point is also removed if there are no remaining digits following it.
>>>Postive<<< and negative infinity, positive and negative zero, and nans, are formatted as inf, -inf, 0, -0 and nan respectively, regardless of the precision.
A precision of 0 is treated as equivalent to a precision of 1. |
