Hi!

I need to format floats to be represented in a specified number of
significant figures

Does anyone know how I could do this? There doesn't seem to be a method in
Float to extract the exponent and significand separately.

Someone suggested the DecimalFormat class, but I can't seem to understand
its use.

Thanks in advance,
Akber Datoo.
