Hi,
I have to print float numbers to a file. Each float should be 5
characters in width (4 numbers and the decimal point).
My problem is that I do not now how to specify float to have different
numbers of decimals. For example
5.32 -5.320
10.356634 -10.357
289.234 -289.2
In the string formating operations only fixed number of decimal digits
is allow.
Thanks in advance for the help,

>>["%#.4g" % f for f in [5.32, 10.356634, 289.234, 123456789.]]
['5.320', '10.36', '289.2', '1.235e+08']
Found by playing around with format strings, so no guarantees.

If the above does not work
[/code]test_list = [ 5.32, 10.35634, 289.234 ]
for num in test_list :
str_num = "%11.5f" % (num) ## expand to at least 5
print str_num, "-->", str_num.strip()[:5][/code]

This has the disadvantage that it doesn't round the last digit. For
example 10.356634 yields 10.356 instead of 10.357.
You can use '*' in format strings to take a numeric field value from a
variable. For example
ndecimals = 2
print "%5.*f" % (ndecimals, x)
formats x with 2 digits following the decimal point. Or you can
simply
cobble up a format string at run time:
format = "%%5.%df" % ndecimals
print format % x This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I do not understand the following behavior for:

win32.

0.0
>>> row = ('0.0', '1.0', None)

If someone defines a float and double in C++, does that say anything
about how many digits the number will hold at maximum and how many
places there will be after the decimal point?
Or is this open to interpretation?

Hi,
yesterday I discovered something that won't come as a surprise to more experienced C++ - programmers - but I was genuinely amazed. I had this line of code:
float x = 0.9f;
and when I had a look at it in the VS.NET 2003 debugger, it said x had avalue of 0.89999998 ! When I printf'ed x to a logfile, it was 0.899999976158142090000000000000. Now, why on earth is that? I understand that the results of floatingpoint operations will always...

On Solaris 64-bit:
sizeof(long) = 8
sizeof(double) = 8 !!!
So i figure i can't store a long with the same precision in a double.
But, when i create a long and assign its largest value to it, then
assign this to a double, then subtract the double from the long, I get
0.

Hi all,
I had problem regarding float/double arithmetic only with + and -
operations, which gives inaccurate precisions. I would like to know how the
arithmetic operations are internally handled by C# or they are hardware
(processor) dependent. Basic addition operation errors, for ex:
3.6 - 2.4 = 1.19999999999 or 1.20000000003
There are the erroneous values I'm getting. I'm using C#.Net v1.1 Please
reply me how these operations are...

We have a field which is decimal (9,2) and another which is decimal
(9,3). Is there anyway to subtract the two and get a precision 3
value without changing the first field to 9,3?
For instance, retail value is 9,2, but our costs are at 9,3 due to
being averaged. To calculate margin (retail-cost), we want that also
to be 9,3, but a basic subtraction comes out 9,2. You can see we
don't want to increase retail to be 9,3 (that would look...
