Show a signed RealFloat value using standard decimal notation (e.g. 245000, 0.0015).

This behaves as showFFloat, except that a decimal point is always guaranteed, even if not needed.

Since: base-4.7.0.0

Show a signed RealFloat value using standard decimal notation for arguments whose absolute value lies between 0.1 and 9,999,999, and scientific notation otherwise.

This behaves as showFFloat, except that a decimal point is always guaranteed, even if not needed.

Since: base-4.7.0.0

Show a floating-point value in the hexadecimal format, similar to the %a specifier in C's printf.
