SNOBOL4SPRINTF(3)

💖 SNOBOL4SPRINTF 💖

ok so this is the CSNOBOL4 manual, section 3 (library functions, bestie, iykyk) — and it's all about snobol4sprintf, aka the girl who makes your numbers look cute. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

snobol4sprintf — numeric formatting 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSYS 🦋

(no bc the original spells it like that and we respect the lore 💅)

-INCLUDE 'sprintf.sno'

        string = SPRINTF(format,value)

so like, first you gotta -INCLUDE the sprintf.sno file to even get access to her. no include, no vibes. and then you call SPRINTF(format,value) and it hands you back a string. periodt.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

SPRINTF() is literally the go-to for formatting INTEGER and REAL values. that's the whole job. numbers in, pretty string out. she's not doing anything else, she's booked and busy with exactly that. 👑

ngl bestie, the source page is short and sweet here — this function does one thing and does it well. no cap.
