Issue
How can I format a float so that it doesn't contain trailing zeros? In other words, I want the resulting string to be as short as possible.
For example:
3 -> "3"
3. -> "3"
3.0 -> "3"
3.1 -> "3.1"
3.14 -> "3.14"
3.140 -> "3.14"
Solution
Me, I'd do ('%f' % x).rstrip('0').rstrip('.')
-- guarantees fixed-point formatting rather than scientific notation, etc etc. Yeah, not as slick and elegant as %g
, but, it works (and I don't know how to force %g
to never use scientific notation;-).
