文档中给出的数据转换例子 罗列如下

atom_to_list(hello)
"hello"
list_to_atom("hello").
hello
binary_to_list(<<"hello">>).
"hello"
binary_to_list(<<104,101,108,108,111>>).
"hello"
list_to_binary("hello").
<<104,101,108,108,111>>
integer_to_list(77).
"77"
list_to_integer("77").
77
tuple_to_list({a,b,c}).
[a,b,c]
list_to_tuple([a,b,c]).
{a,b,c}
term_to_binary({a,b,c}).
<<131,104,3,100,0,1,97,100,0,1,98,100,0,1,99>>
binary_to_term(<<131,104,3,100,0,1,97,100,0,1,98,100,0,1,99>>).
{a,b,c}
重点看一下 float_to_list/1
float_to_list(7.0).
"7.00000000000000000000e+00"
list_to_float("7.000e+00").
7.0
19> float_to_list(7.12, [{decimals, 4}]).
"7.1200"
20> float_to_list(7.12).
"7.12000000000000010658e+00"
21> float_to_list(7.12,[compact]).
"7.12000000000000010658e+00"
22> float_to_list(7.12, [{decimals, 6},compact]).
"7.12"
23> float_to_list(7.1234567, [{decimals, 6},compact]).
"7.123457"
24> float_to_list(7.12345, [{decimals, 6},compact]).
"7.12345
