- * Number formatting function which mimicks the behavior of %g in printf, i.e.
- * either exponential or fixed format (without trailing 0s) is used depending on
- * the length of the generated string. The advantage of this format is that
- * there is a predictable upper bound on the resulting string length,
- * significant figures are not dropped, and normal numbers are not displayed in
- * exponential notation.
- *
- * NOTE: JavaScript's native toPrecision() is NOT a drop-in replacement for %g.
- * It creates strings which are too long for absolute values between 10^-4 and
- * 10^-6, e.g. '0.00001' instead of '1e-5'. See tests/number-format.html for
- * output examples.
- *
- * @param {Number} x The number to format
- * @param {Number} opt_precision The precision to use, default 2.
- * @return {String} A string formatted like %g in printf. The max generated
- * string length should be precision + 6 (e.g 1.123e+300).

- // Since the behavior of toPrecision() is identical for larger numbers, we
- // don't have to worry about the other bound.
