nf() float formatting with 0 decimal places doesn't work - unless the float happens to
be a whole number.

[code]
// this works
println( nf(1.0,1,0) );

//this doesn't
println( nf(1.1,1,0) );
[/code]

edit]
sample code

use floor() or int() if you want to remove decimals.

when zero is used in either the left or right position, that indicates that
no changes should occur.

(switching this to a reference bug so it can be noted as such.)

in that case, a value of 1.0 should display as "1.0" - but it doesn't, it displays as "1"
- the decimal is truncated. either way behavior is inconsistent.

again, use floor(), or int(), or even round() or ceil() for that matter.
nf() is not for removing decimals.

it's not inconsistent, it's just that using 0 on the right-hand side is
almost totally pointless, but it's there for symmetry with the left-hand
side, where it's more useful.

ok thanks. i guess i'm confused as to why nf() would call changing "1.0" to "1", no
change. the string returned is changed in one case and not in the other. compare,
e.g., to the string returned by println(). seems inefficient to have to use
nf(round(x),1,0), i thought the point of the NumberFormat command is for formatting
numbers consistently. but i see what you're saying, thanks for the response.

I've updated the nf() reference to clarify.
