R devel - Jan 2008 - numbers after dot missing (PR#10663)

Full_Name: Michael
Version: 2.6.1
OS: Windows XP
Submission from: (NULL) (81.223.30.219)


i recognized a problem with the numbers behind a dot, an example:

76079320.32+21374.27+7630.04+28432.47
[1] 76136757 // should be 76,136,757.10
> 32+27+4+47 // proof it should be xxx.1
[1] 110

that kind of problem happened more than 1 time

hope u can fix it :)

> x <- 76079320.32+21374.27+7630.04+28432.47
> print(x, digits=13)
[1] 76136757.1

If you want trailing zeros printed, use sprintf().

Reading ?print.default will explain this to you -- it is working as 
documented.
