Final note to Henrik: Note that the IEEE 754 rounding standard as
implemented in R results in:
round(18.15, 1)

formatC(18.15, format = "f", digits = 1)
[1] "18.1"
sprintf("%5.1f", 18.15)
[1] " 18.1"
This is because the rounding method implemented is th

Why is the last digit stripped off in the case when it is zero!
signif() changes the value;
