By default, the output value is left aligned and shown with the minimum
width necessary for the specified (or default) precision. If a field
width greater than this is specified, the value shown is right aligned,

width. A width specification is typically used with fixed-point decimal
to have columns of numbers align at the decimal point; this arguably is
less useful with units than with long columnar output, but it
may nonetheless assist in quickly assessing the relative magnitudes of
results. For example, with the format ‘%12.6f’,
