use strict;

no warnings 'experimental::signatures';
use feature 'signatures';

sub amnt($amn)
{
my $amount=$_[0];
print "$amount i m checking amount before padding,\n";
my $padamnt = sprintf("%016d",$amount);
print "$padamnt i m checking amount after padding,\n";
 return $padamnt;
}

print "EXACT integer\n";
amnt(488715);

print "\n\nNot quite an integer\n";
amnt(488715 - 4e-10);
