When using « printf("%e", value) » the output use 3 digit for the exponent part (ex. 3.5e+004). How can i get a result with only 2 digit in the exponent part (ex. 3.5e+04)

Thank you

Unfortunately the exponent is fixed to 3 digits. You could sprintf it to a string, remove the third digit from the end and then printf the string.
