I think we've gone past what the op wanted to know.
The "big" number thing came about with %24.16e format.
I would ask the Op to tell us what didn't get answered from the original post.

"00000000000000000000000000000000" is no bigger a number than "0". the `.16` was to make sure the number wasn't really -0.00....001 masquerading as -0.	[reply] [d/l]
