+Description of Problem:
+

+
+using System;
+public class test {
+        public static void Main() {
+                Console.WriteLine(2.00.ToString("F2"));
+        }
+}
+
+2.  Compile and run. 
+
+Actual Results:
+
+2
+
+
+Expected Results:
+
+
+2.00
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Every time

+F or f Fixed-point
+
+The number is converted to a string of the form "-ddd.ddd..." where 
+each 'd' indicates a digit (0-9). The string starts with a minus sign if 
+the number is negative. The precision specifier indicates the desired 
+number of decimal places. If the precision specifier is omitted, the 
+default numeric precision given by the NumberFormatInfo is used.
