print('{0:.1f}'.format(number3)) # Show one digit after decimal point
</source>
:#Numbers can be displayed with the '''-''' or '''+''' signs before the digits, this could be important in formatting. Issue the following to demonstrate:<source>
print('{0: f}'.format(number1)) # Show a space where plus sign should be
print('{0: f}'.format(number2)) # Shows negative sign normally
print('{0: f}\n{1: f}'.format(number1, number2)) # The space before the f lines up positive and negative numbers
</source>
:#Placing a '''+''' before the f changes the format so that plus signs show up for positive numbers and negative signs show up for negative numbers. Try issuing the following:<source>
print('{0:+f}'.format(number1)) # Show a space where plus sign should be
print('{0:+f}'.format(number2)) # Shows negative sign normally
print('{0:+f}\n{1:+f}'.format(number1, number2)) # The space before the f lines up positive and negative numbers
</source>
:#Combining fixed point positions and sign together look like the following by issuing:<source>
print('{0:+.2f}'.format(number1))
print('{0:+.2f}'.format(number2))
print('{0:+.2f}\n{1:+.2f}'.format(number1, number2))
</source>:#In the event that the numbers being shown are all integers and do no require the decimal values, instead of '''{:f}''' use '''{:d}''' for decimal INTEGERS<br><br>:#To demonstrate, issue the following:<source>
print('{0:d}'.format(number1))
print('{0:d}'.format(number2))
