00:00:00,610 --> 00:00:02,010
- [Instructor] In this
exercise, we'd like you

2
00:00:02,010 --> 00:00:04,930
to print the two floating
point numbers you see here,

3
00:00:04,930 --> 00:00:06,200
and we would like each of those

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,470
to be displayed preceded by it's sign,

5
00:00:08,470 --> 00:00:11,830
so we want to force a plus
sign on the first value here

6
00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:15,340
in a 10-character field
with thousands separators,

7
00:00:15,340 --> 00:00:18,350
and we want their decimal
points to be aligned vertically

8
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:21,200
with two digits to the
right of each of those.

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,360
So go ahead and pause the
video to give that a shot,

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,010
then come back to see the answer.

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,160
Okay, let's go ahead and reveal that,

12
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:34,930
and as you can see here,

13
00:00:34,930 --> 00:00:38,460
we are doing a couple of placeholders

14
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:40,820
in our format string that will be printed.

15
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:43,710
For the first value, we wanted to force it

16
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:47,250
to display it's sign no matter what.

17
00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:50,890
We're going to do this in a field of 10.

18
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:53,380
We've got the comma to indicate

19
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:55,970
that we want to do the thousands separator

20
00:00:55,970 --> 00:00:58,900
and we want two digits to the
right of the decimal point

21
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:00,530
for this floating point number

22
00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:04,290
and then we used the same
specifier for the other value

23
00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:06,070
even though it's a negative value,

24
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:09,010
we still put in the plus
sign here, but of course,

25
00:01:09,010 --> 00:01:12,010
a plus sign will not appear
because it's negative.

26
00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:13,930
So let's go ahead and execute that

27
00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:15,960
and you can see a couple of things here.

28
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:17,300
First of all, the two digits

29
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:19,250
to the right of the decimal point,

30
00:01:19,250 --> 00:01:22,450
remember the numbers are
right aligned automatically

31
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:26,870
in format specifiers unless
you indicate otherwise,

32
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:30,130
so the fields of 10
were a little bit wider

33
00:01:30,130 --> 00:01:32,040
than each of the two values in this case

34
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,690
and also notice the comma separators

35
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:37,763
and the plus sign before
the positive value.
