Specifying maximum printf field width for numbers (truncating if necessary)?

Question

You can truncate strings with a printf field-width specifier:

printf(\"%.5s\", \"abcdefgh\");

> abcde

Unfortunately it does no

Answer 1

If you want to truncate from the right you can convert your number to a string and then use the string field width specifier.

"%.3s".format(1234567.toString)
