Engineering notation always places its decimal after one digit · case 05
Engineering notation always places its decimal after one digit.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| two integer digits | "1.3e3" | "12.3e3" | Failed |
