====== FP (value, wholeNumberDigits, fractionalNumberDigits) ======

''FP'' converts floating point variables into a formatted string with user defined whole and fractional number of digits.

<code xbasic>
Dim A as Single
A = 3.14
Debug Float A     ' 3.1400000 Prints all digits.
Debug FP(A,3,2)   ' 3.14 Print user defined digits.
</code>

With the ''FP'' function, the user can control the number of digits to be used for ''string'' data when using [[:cubloc:Debug:]] or displaying to an LCD.

Cubloc floating-point values are stored in accordance to the IEEE 754 format.  The output of ''FP'' and [[:cubloc:Float:]] may differ but the value stored in the variable will be the same.
