Examples
int a=200, b=-40, c=90; 
String sa = nfs(a, 10); 
println(sa); // prints " 0000000200" 
String sb = nfs(b, 5); 
println(sb); // prints "-00040" 
String sc = nfs(c, 3); 
println(sc); // prints " 090" 
 
float d = -200.94, e = 40.2, f = -9.012; 
String sd = nfs(d, 10, 4); 
println(sd);  // prints "-0000000200.9400" 
String se = nfs(e, 5, 3); 
println(se);  // prints " 00040.200" 
String sf = nfs(f, 3, 5); 
println(sf);  // prints "-009.01200"
Description Utility function for formatting numbers into strings. Similar to nf() but leaves a blank space in front of positive numbers so they align with negative numbers in spite of the minus symbol. There are two versions, one for formatting floats and one for formatting ints. The values for the digits, left, and right parameters should always be positive integers.
