Python Programming Language :: getting rid of leading zeros in float expotential


	getting rid of leading zeros in float expotential Hi! I'm wondering whether there's an easy way to remove unnecessary leading zeros from my floating point number. realS = float(-1.25e-5) imgS = float(-7.6e4) print complex(realS, imgS) >> (-1.25e-005-76000j) I would like it to look like (-1.25e-5-76000j) On 3 , 11:47, t@finland.com wrote: > Hi!

For printing? try to process it as a string >>>def my_func(a): return my_del_zeros_func(str(a))
