NFC() doesn't behave as expected in processing.js

Hi all,

Having trouble with the nfc function when using processing.js.

I'd expect the following to print 2.44 but instead prints 02

---

void setup() {
  float chips = 2.4355677;
  String chipsy = nfc(chips,2);
  println(chipsy);
}

void draw() {
}

---

Any ideas?

There are 4 number formatting styles in Processing:

1. nf() http://processing.org/reference/nf_.html
2. nfc() http://processing.org/reference/nfc_.html
3. nfp() http://processing.org/reference/nfp_.html
4. nfs() http://processing.org/reference/nfs_.html

They're overloaded to format integers w/ 2 parameters and fractions w/ 3 parameters.
All but nfc(), which expects 1 parameter only for integers and 2 for fractions.

Apparently, the PJS folks got that confused in v1.4.1! Converter nfc() still uses the general # of parameters like the other 3! @-)

p.nfc = function(value, leftDigits, rightDigits) {
  return nfCore(value, "", "-", leftDigits, rightDigits, ",")
};

Even though it's fixed in latest v1.4.7, that 1 isn't available in JS Mode yet! Much less on PJS code hosting sites! :o3

nfc: function(value, rightDigits) {
  return CommonFunctions.nfCore(value, "", "-", 0, rightDigits, ",");
},

Therefore, when 1 or 2 parameters are passed in JS Mode, it guesses it's supposed to be integer rather than fraction formatting!
Passing 3 parameters would fix the PJS side, but wouldn't compile in Java mode! :-<

Thanks so much, this is fantastically useful

I only need it to work in PJS so BONUS!
