No. The mask string is passed relatively directly to sprintf, with no
hidden charges or destination fees. %f gets you the whatever your C
library does by default.
This is one way, but there are more efficient methods:
FLT = "%.2f"
print ("abc="+FLT+" def="+FLT) % (3.0,4.5)
Are you trying to do currency? There are better ways, using the locale
methods.
