Hi folks, often times in science one expresses a value (say 1.03789291) and its error (say 0.00089) in a short way by parentheses like so: 1.0379(9)
One can vary things a bit, but let's take the simplest case when we only keep 1 digit of the error (and round it of course) and round the value correspondingly. I've been searching around for a simple function that would take 2 float arguments and would return a string but didn't find anything although something tells me it's been done a gazillion times. What would be the simplest such function? Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
