C99 is not C

While it's on my mind... what's the output from the following C program?

#include 
#include 

int main() {
  const char *foo = "0x3";
  printf("'%s' is %g\n", foo, atof(foo));
  return 0;
}

Intriguing

I am a C newbie, so I am always intriguied by small C snippets.

I guess you expected either scientific notation or 6 digits?

But how do you specify what notation should be used? - I can get the proper notation by explicitly specifying %E or %F
