Engineering notation uses exponent residue as a zero-based digit count · case 02
Engineering notation uses exponent residue as a zero-based digit count.
Case contract
Render a finite decimal text after half-even rounding to precision, in scientific or engineering notation. Preserve coefficient trailing zeros; engineering exponent is a multiple of three with one to three integer digits. Zero is canonical coefficient zero with original sign and exponent zero.
Why this case matters
An offline floating representation model isolates a reproducible arithmetic fault.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| scientific carry | ".100e3" | "1.00e3" | Failed |
