+# General floating point formatting functions.

+# Functions:
+# fix(x, digits_behind)
+# sci(x, digits_behind)

+# Each takes a number or a string and a number of digits as arguments.

+# Parameters:
+# x:             number to be formatted; or a string resembling a number
+# digits_behind: number of digits behind the decimal point
