Code #1 : Example for is_zero() method

# Python Program explaining
# is_zero() method

# loading decimal library
from decimal import *


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

b = Decimal(0)

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


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

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

Decimal value a :  -1
Decimal value b :  0


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

Code #2 : Example for is_zero() method

# Initializing a decimal value
a = Decimal(-0)

b = Decimal('321e + 5')

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


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

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