do
-- printf accepts a format string and an argument list
-- The argument list is a container (often a manifest
-- array) of values corresponding to the type of the format
-- specified in the format string argument.
-- When only one argument is needed, then there is also the
-- option to use just the value, without the container.
-- In this example, the line would be:
-- printf ("%%09.3f%N", v)
-- The more deliberate form is used in the actual example,
-- as it is more representative of common usage, when there
-- are multiple value arguments.
printf ("%%09.3f%N", << v >>)
