Examples

## this is also employed internally in the fmt() formatting function
fmt(c(0.005, 0.015))

## the main purpose of fmt() is that some numeric result can be displayed
## both at high accuracy and then at the rounding that students should do
## (e.g., with 2 or 3 digits)
sol <- runif(1)
fmt(sol, 6)
fmt(sol, 2)

## but fmt() also assures showing a very high number of significant digits
## (up to 12)
sol <- 123456 + sol
sol
fmt(sol, 6)
fmt(sol, 2)

## and fmt() also takes care of adding trailing zeros (if digits < 4)
fmt(1)
fmt(1, digits = 3)
fmt(1, digits = 6)
