[Maxima-discuss] missing leading zero for floating point numbers

[andre m. <and...@gm...>]

Hi list,

How does one force Maxima to print the leading zero
in front of floating point numbers?
I would have expected float(1/3) = 0.333333333333

Kind regards
Andre

That's a bug which is fixed in the most recent version of Maxima (5.33).
