Decimal#as_tuple() : as_tuple() is a Decimal class method which returns named tuple representation of the Decimal value.
Syntax: Decimal.as_tuple()
Parameter: Decimal values
Return: tuple with values
– sign
– digits
– exponent
Code #1 : Example for as_tuple() method
# Python Program explaining # as_tuple() 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.as_tuple() method print ( "\n\nDecimal a with as_tuple() method : " , a.as_tuple()) print ( "Decimal b with as_tuple() method : " , b.as_tuple()) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -1 Decimal value b : 0.142857 Decimal a with as_tuple() method : DecimalTuple(sign=1, digits=(1, ), exponent=0) Decimal b with as_tuple() method : DecimalTuple(sign=0, digits=(1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7), exponent=-6)
Code #2 : Example for as_tuple() method
# Python Program explaining # as_tuple() 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.as_tuple() method print ( "\n\nDecimal a with as_tuple() method : " , a.as_tuple()) print ( "Decimal b with as_tuple() method : " , b.as_tuple()) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -3.14 Decimal value b : 3.21E+7 Decimal a with as_tuple() method : DecimalTuple(sign=1, digits=(3, 1, 4), exponent=-2) Decimal b with as_tuple() method : DecimalTuple(sign=0, digits=(3, 2, 1), exponent=5)
