# General floating point formatting functions.

# Functions:
# fix(x, digits_behind)
# sci(x, digits_behind)

# Each takes a number or a string and a number of digits as arguments.

# Parameters:
# x:             number to be formatted; or a string resembling a number
# digits_behind: number of digits behind the decimal point
