What exactly does %+09.3f mean?

Hello!

I know the that %.3f would mean a float number that shows 3 numbers after the dot, but I really don't understand the +09 part.

Thank you in advance

%+09.3f

(+) -- flag means always display sign before number

0 -- add leading zero padding to full field width

9 -- field width (minimum number of characters to print)

3 -- precision (this means different things depending on the conversion type)

f -- conversion type (fixed-point)
