Hi, How can I control the number of digits after the decimal
point using the %g format specifier. I am not able to get more than 3 digits as
shown below. >>> a = 1.234e-5 >>> '%g' % a '1.234e-005' >>> '%.2g' % a '1.2e-005' >>> '%.4g' % a '1.234e-005' >>> '%.5g' % a '1.234e-005' >>> '%.6g' % a '1.234e-005' >>> '%.7g' % a '1.234e-005' >>> import fpformat >>> fpformat.sci(a,7) '1.2340000e-005' >>> In the above example there are only 3 digits after decimal. If
I set a=1.234567e-8 I can control part of it but I am trying to find a way of
filling the rest with zeros as given by the fpformat. Ofcourse I can use the fpformat or do some checks. But is
there any direct way (I need a something that doesn’t affect performance).
Thanks a bunch for your help. Regards, Siva |
