I have fixed the problem with substr -- this will be in the next
refresh.
On investigating the format report, I believe it is working correctly?
In the sequence:
cents=150
hund=100
say '$'cents/hund.format(null,2)
hund.format(null.2) gives 100.00, as expected; 150/100.00 then gives
1.5 (trailing zeros are removed on a divide), and so the final result
is $1.5
To get a result of $1.50, I'd write:
say '$'(cents/hund).format(null,2)
For the third line.
(Text for the document changed, as suggested -- thanks!)
