Code #1 : Example for to_eng_string() method

# Python Program explaining
# to_eng_string() method

# loading decimal library
from decimal import *


# Initializing a decimal value
a = Decimal(1.898989)

b = Decimal(2.0)

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


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

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

Output :

Decimal value a :  1.8989890000000000380708797820261679589748382568359375
Decimal value b :  2
