Details

The function is meant for pretty-printing of US treasury bond quotes; it provides no other functionality.

If price is numeric, it is interpreted as a quote in decimal notation and ‘translated’ into a price quoted in fractions of a point.

If price is character, it is interpreted as a quote in fractional notation.

q32 is a short-hand for quote32.
