floating point no. to string with same precision

[shreya005]

I'm using 'format into string' to convert floating point no. to string. Most of the the numbers have single digit decimal so i use "%^0.1f" in the format into string terminal. But for whole nos. like 150, it gets converted to 150.0. I want to avoid this, such that the string looks exactly like the no.. What should i change?

Hi,

For whole numbers, use "%d" instead of "%^0.1f".

Use %#0.1f as your format string.

Read the help file on format codes.  The # sign tells it to truncate trailing zeroes.
