When I type the following, I get results different from what I expected.
> sprintf('%a',3)
[1] "0x1.8"
Shouldn't the result be
[1] "0x1.8p+2"
I read through the help ?sprintf and didn't find anything that changed my
expectation. What am I misunderstanding? I am using R-2.9.0 binary from CRAN
on Windows XP Pro, and my session info is
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)
