This is such a minor issue that I honestly do not know if it's worth bothering anyone with it — please ignore if it's not.
In Phix, printf() and sprintf() slightly misbehave with the "%1.nE" format: values of mE-n are printed with an additional zero when m is 1 and n > 10. This is independent of how many digits are specified in the format string, with a value of 1 there is always one zero too many:
atom a a = 1e-11 printf(1, "%1.6e\n", a) a = 1.234e-11 printf(1, "%1.6e\n", a) 1.0000000e-11 1.234000e-11
(This does not happen in Euphoria)
It gave me a little trouble when I wrote a sprint12() function, which does exactly what sprint() does but with 12 instead of 10 digits (in case anyone is interested, I can post it — with minor modifications it also works with Euphoria) — but, as I've said, it is certainly a minor issue.
