# ppf

Definition: | string res = ppf(object o, sequence options={})
Description: | Return object pretty printed (with embedded \n), no trailing \n. For options, see ppOpt.
pwa/p2js: | Supported.
Comments: | The previous pretty_print options are restored on exit. ppExf is a pre optional parameters version of this routine.
Example: |
    ppOpt({pp_IntFmt,"%d.00 US$"})
    ppOpt({pp_FltFmt,"%.2f US$"})

    x=ppf(1) -- x is "1.00 US$"
Note the deliberate setting of both pp_IntFmt and pp_FltFmt to yield consistent results. The following one line could be used instead of the above, apart from the options not being permanent:
    x=ppf(1,{pp_IntFmt,"%d.00 US$",pp_FltFmt,"%.2f US$"})
