in reply to (s)printf question: eliminating plus sign before zeros

Disclaimer: this is a joke.

You can get rid of that pesky + by changing: printf '%+4d', $_ for @nums; to printf '%+4.0f', $_||-.1 for @nums; Update: yes, that will produce "-0" which is correct behaviour for negative numbers that printf %f has to round to 0.

    Thanks. That really helps. Now I've got minus zero instead of plus zero.
