expr == expr Equal to

Each expression has either a string value, a numeric value
or both. Except as stated for specific contexts, the value
of an expression is implicitly converted to the type needed
for the context in which it is used. A string value is con-
verted to a numeric value by the equivalent of the following
calls:

setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "");
numeric_value = atof(string_value);

A numeric value that is exactly equal to the value of an
integer is converted to a string by the equivalent of a call
to the sprintf function with the string %d as the fmt argu-
ment and the numeric value being converted as the first and
only expr argument. Any other numeric value is converted to
a string by the equivalent of a call to the sprintf function
with the value of the variable CONVFMT as the fmt argument
and the numeric value being converted as the first and only
expr argument.
