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 library from decimal import * # Initializing a decimal value a = Decimal( - 1 ) b = Decimal( '0.142857' ) # printing Decimal values print ( "Decimal value a : " , a) print ( "Decimal value b : " , b) # Using Decimal.canonical() method print ( "\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 library from decimal import * # Initializing a decimal value a = Decimal( '-3.14' ) b = Decimal( '321e + 5' ) # printing Decimal values print ( "Decimal value a : " , a) print ( "Decimal value b : " , b) # Using Decimal.canonical() method print ( "\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
