Syntax: Decimal.min_mag() Parameter: Decimal values Return: minimum of two, with their sign ignored.
Code #1 : Example for min_mag() method
# Python Program explaining # min_mag() method # loading decimal library from decimal import * # Initializing a decimal value a = Decimal( - 1 ) b = Decimal( '0.142857' ) # printing Decimal values print ( "Decimal value a : " , a) print ( "Decimal value b : " , b) # Using Decimal.min_mag() method print ( "\n\nDecimal a with min_mag() method : " , a.min_mag(a)) print ( "Decimal a with min_mag() method : " , a.min_mag(b)) print ( "Decimal b with min_mag() method : " , b.min_mag(a)) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -1 Decimal value b : 0.142857 Decimal a with min_mag() method : -1 Decimal a with min_mag() method : 0.142857 Decimal b with min_mag() method : 0.142857
Code #2 : Example for min_mag() method
# Python Program explaining # min_mag() 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.min_mag() method print ( "\n\nDecimal a with min_mag() method : " , a.min_mag(a)) print ( "Decimal a with min_mag() method : " , a.min_mag(b)) print ( "Decimal b with min_mag() method : " , b.min_mag(a)) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -3.14 Decimal value b : 3.21E+7 Decimal a with min_mag() method : -3.14 Decimal a with min_mag() method : -3.14 Decimal b with min_mag() method : -3.14
