Decimal notation drops the sign of a zero coefficient · case 05

Decimal notation drops the sign of a zero coefficient.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 11 checks per implementation

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
