Hello,
I'm looking for the code that formats f64, or any documentation of it.
I mean, if I write
let x: f64 = 12345;
println!("{}", x);
where is the code that actually turns my number into characters? Thanks!
Rust uses the Grisu algorithm, the code is in core::num::flt2dec::strategy::grisu.
There are other details, but you should be able to look them up yourself by searching for flt2dec in the codebase.
