How to suppress scientific notation when printing float values?

Question

Here\'s my code:

x = 1.0
y = 100000.0    
print x/y

My quotient displays as 1.00000e-05.

Is there any way to suppress

Answer 1

This will work for any exponent:

def getExpandedScientificNotation(flt):
    str_vals = str(flt).split('e')
    coef = float(str_vals[0])
    exp = int(str_vals[1])
    return_val = ''
    if int(exp) > 0:
        return_val += str(coef).replace('.', '')
        return_val += ''.join(['0' for _ in range(0, abs(exp - len(str(coef).split('.')[1])))])
    elif int(exp) < 0:
        return_val += '0.'
        return_val += ''.join(['0' for _ in range(0, abs(exp) - 1)])
        return_val += str(coef).replace('.', '')
    return return_val
