Code #1 : Example for shift() method




# Python Program explaining 
# shift() method
  
# loading decimal library
from decimal import *
  
  
# Initializing a decimal value
a = Decimal(1)
  
b = Decimal(2)
  
# printing Decimal values
print ("Decimal value a : ", a)
print ("Decimal value b : ", b)
  
  
# Using Decimal.shift() method
print ("\n\nDecimal a with shift() method : ", a.shift(b))
  
print ("Decimal b with shift() method : ", b.shift(b))


Output :

Decimal value a :  1
Decimal value b :  2


Decimal a with shift() method :  100
Decimal b with shift() method :  200

Code #2 : Example for shift() method




# Python Program explaining 
# shift() method
  
# loading decimal library
from decimal import *
  
  
# Initializing a decimal value
a = Decimal(300)
  
b = Decimal(15)
  
  
# printing Decimal values
print ("Decimal value a : ", a)
print ("Decimal value b : ", b)
  
  
# Using Decimal.shift() method
print ("\n\nDecimal a with shift() method : ", a.shift(b))
  
print ("Decimal b with shift() method : ", b.shift(b))


Output :

Decimal value a :  300
Decimal value b :  15


Decimal a with shift() method :  300000000000000000
Decimal b with shift() method :  15000000000000000
