convert exponential to decimal in python

Question

I have an array in python that contains a set of values, some of them are

2.32313e+07

2.1155e+07

1.923e+07

11856

112.32

How d

Answer 1

In answer to the last part of your question, awk can use the same printf format:

awk '{printf "%f\n",$1}' exponential_file

Where exponential_file contains:

2.32313e+07
2.1155e+07
1.923e+07
11856
112.32

You can do the conversion into a variable for use later. Here is a simplistic example:

awk '{n = sprintf("%f\n",$1); print n * 2}' exponential_file
