Usage


In order to use SetPrecision, start by importing the module to your Python environment:
from SetPrecision import set_precision



Now, simply call the set_precision method and enter your desired number to be formatted as the number parameter, and the level of precision as the precision parameter:
>>> testA = 3.141592653589793 # Not necessary to set number as variable.

>>> testA = set_precision(testA, 2)

>>> print(testA)

'3.15'

>>> testB = 3.141592653589793

>>> testB = set_precision(testB, 4)

>>> print(testB)

'3.1416'




Note that the output is automatically rounded up when number >= 5, and down when number < 5.


Both params can be entered in string format, and will output successfully assuming that both parameters can be cast to their appropriate types.

This is done automatically.
