My interpretation of the question (which of course may be wrong) has an answer that is the opposite of 'round':
When a result is printed, it is rounded to a certain number of digits (controlled by the 'digits' argument of 'print'). Just because it is printed like that, doesn't mean the actual value is rounded. Values are kept with as much precision as possible. For double precision data, there are roughly 15 decimal places available.
