Syntax: Decimal.canonical()
Parameter: Decimal values
Return: the canonical encoding of the Decimal value.
Code #1 : Example for canonical() method
# Python Program explaining # canonical() method # loading decimal libraryfrom decimal import * # Initializing a decimal valuea = Decimal(-1) b = Decimal('0.142857') # printing Decimal valuesprint ("Decimal value a : ", a)print ("Decimal value b : ", b) # Using Decimal.canonical() methodprint ("\n\nDecimal a with canonical() method : ", a.canonical()) print ("Decimal b with canonical() method : ", b.canonical()) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -1 Decimal value b : 0.142857 Decimal a with canonical() method : -1 Decimal b with canonical() method : 0.142857
Code #2 : Example for canonical() method
# Python Program explaining # canonical() method # loading decimal libraryfrom decimal import * # Initializing a decimal valuea = Decimal('-3.14') b = Decimal('321e + 5') # printing Decimal valuesprint ("Decimal value a : ", a)print ("Decimal value b : ", b) # Using Decimal.canonical() methodprint ("\n\nDecimal a with canonical() method : ", a.canonical()) print ("Decimal b with canonical() method : ", b.canonical()) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -3.14 Decimal value b : 3.21E+7 Decimal a with canonical() method : -3.14 Decimal b with canonical() method : 3.21E+7
