Print floating point values without leading zero

Question

Trying to use a format specifier to print a float that will be less than 1 without the leading zero. I came up with a bit of a hack but I assume there is a way to just drop

Answer 1

For Python 3

When you want something simple and don't need negative number support:

f'{k:.4f}'.lstrip('0')

There are other solutions when you need negative number support, including the excellent regex by @nettux443.
