Decimal#next_minus() : next_minus() is a Decimal class method which returns the largest representable number smaller than the Decimal value.
Syntax: Decimal.next_minus()
Parameter: Decimal values
Return: the largest representable number smaller than the Decimal value.
Code #1 : Example for next_minus() method
# Python Program explaining # next_minus() 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.next_minus() method print ("\n\nDecimal a with next_minus() method : ", a.next_minus()) print ("Decimal a with next_minus() method : ", a.next_minus()) print ("Decimal b with next_minus() method : ", b.next_minus()) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -1 Decimal value b : 0.142857 Decimal a with next_minus() method : -1.000000000000000000000000001 Decimal a with next_minus() method : -1.000000000000000000000000001 Decimal b with next_minus() method : 0.1428569999999999999999999999
Code #2 : Example for next_minus() method
# Python Program explaining # next_minus() 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.next_minus() method print ("\n\nDecimal a with next_minus() method : ", a.next_minus()) print ("Decimal a with next_minus() method : ", a.next_minus()) print ("Decimal b with next_minus() method : ", b.next_minus()) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -3.14 Decimal value b : 3.21E+7 Decimal a with next_minus() method : -3.140000000000000000000000001 Decimal a with next_minus() method : -3.140000000000000000000000001 Decimal b with next_minus() method : 32099999.99999999999999999999
