Hi again,

I already note for some time, that IJ.ds2 has a "quirk" for very small
values, for example

double small_value = 9.915e-6;
IJ.write(IJ.d2s (small_value, 2));

will not output

"0.00"

but

"9.915E-6"

instead!

Is this intended behaviour?

Sometimes it might be useful to tell if a result is not exactly zero, but
*LARGER* numbers will nevertheless be rounded down to zero as for ex. 1e-3!

Sincerely

Joachim Wesner
