Base examples¶
Let’s define a small helper function:
def print_me(msg, val):
print("{}: {}".format(msg, val))
Let’s print the tolerance:
print_me("The default value for the tolerance is", TOL)
The default value for the tolerance is: 1e-10
Find the accuracy of this computer:
j, d = machine_accuracy()
print_me("Number of significant BITS in the mantissa\t", j)
Number of significant BITS in the mantissa : 52.0
print_me("Number of significant DIGITS in a decimal number", d)
Number of significant DIGITS in a decimal number: 15
Print the suffixes for some ordinal numbers:
print_me("The suffix for ordinal 2 is", get_ordinal_suffix(2))
The suffix for ordinal 2 is: nd
print_me("The suffix for ordinal 16 is", get_ordinal_suffix(16))
The suffix for ordinal 16 is: th
