Re: Math: Removing X number of zeroes from number Y.

Hi Ahsan,
  I was trying to solve this problem, using XSLT 2.0
functions ..

The stylesheet I have written so far is (it is not
complete) -

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
               
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
                xmlns:num="http://whatever";
                version="2.0">
 
<xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" /> 

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:value-of select="num:div_pow(79000, 2)"/>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:function name="num:div_pow" as="xs:double">
  <xsl:param name="x" as="xs:double"/>
  <xsl:param name="y" as="xs:integer"/>
  
     <xsl:if test="$y &t; 0">
       <xsl:
     </xsl:if>  
</xsl:function>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

I am handicaped by the fact that XSLT 2.0 does not
have a construct like xsl:call-function (similar to
xsl:call-template) .. 

Is my doubt genuine ..?

Regards,
Mukul
