Code #1 : Example for min_mag() method
# Python Program explaining # min_mag() 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.min_mag() method print ("\n\nDecimal a with min_mag() method : ", a.min_mag(a))   print ("Decimal a with min_mag() method : ", a.min_mag(b))   print ("Decimal b with min_mag() method : ", b.min_mag(a)) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -1 Decimal value b : 0.142857 Decimal a with min_mag() method : -1 Decimal a with min_mag() method : 0.142857 Decimal b with min_mag() method : 0.142857
Code #2 : Example for min_mag() method
# Python Program explaining # min_mag() 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.min_mag() method print ("\n\nDecimal a with min_mag() method : ", a.min_mag(a))   print ("Decimal a with min_mag() method : ", a.min_mag(b))   print ("Decimal b with min_mag() method : ", b.min_mag(a)) |
Output :
Decimal value a : -3.14 Decimal value b : 3.21E+7 Decimal a with min_mag() method : -3.14 Decimal a with min_mag() method : -3.14 Decimal b with min_mag() method : -3.14
