Python Math: Exercise-42 with Solution
Write a Python program to get the local and default precision.
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
import decimal
with decimal.localcontext() as context:
context.prec = 2
print('Local precision:', context.prec)
print('22/7 =', (decimal.Decimal('22') / 7))
print()
print('Default precision:', decimal.getcontext().prec)
print('22 /7 =', (decimal.Decimal('22') / 7))
Sample Output:
Local precision: 2 22/7 = 3.1 Default precision: 28 22 /7 = 3.142857142857142857142857143
