Python | Decimal is_normal() method

Decimal#is_normal() : is_normal() is a Decimal class method which checks whether the Decimal value is a normal finite number.

Syntax: Decimal.is_normal()

Parameter: Decimal values

Return: true – if the Decimal value is a normal finite number; otherwise false

Code #1 : Example for is_normal() method

# Python Program explaining
# is_normal() method

# loading decimal library
from decimal import *


# Initializing a decimal value
a = Decimal(-1)

b = Decimal('-inf')

# printing Decimal values
print ("Decimal value a : ", a)
print ("Decimal value b : ", b)


# Using Decimal.is_normal() method
print ("\n\nDecimal a with is_normal() method : ", a.is_normal())

print ("Decimal b with is_normal() method : ", b.is_normal())

Output :

Decimal value a :  -1
Decimal value b :  -Infinity


Decimal a with is_normal() method :  True
Decimal b with is_normal() method :  False

Code #2 : Example for is_normal() method

# Python Program explaining
# is_normal() 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.is_normal() method
print ("\n\nDecimal a with is_normal() method : ", a.is_normal())

print ("Decimal b with is_normal() method : ", b.is_normal())

Output :

Decimal value a :  -3.14
Decimal value b :  3.21E+7


Decimal a with is_normal() method :  True
Decimal b with is_normal() method :  True
