It does not address the issue of the last significant zero, e.g: 10000 (4 sf) 10000 (3 sf) 10000 (2 sf) One way to solve this with standard parsing would be to use scientific notation: 1.000e4 1.00e4 1.0e4 Note that for the example of inch to cm conversions the value 2.54 cm/inch is exact. This leads to the issue that there should be a way to exclude some input from limiting the detection of the lowest significant figure (i.e. mark numbers as exact). This puts some responsibility on the provider of the data to follow a format; and some on the parser to know what fields to analyse.
