python decimal类型转化,如何将python的Decimal（）类型转换为INT和指数

I would like to use the Decimal() data type in python and convert it to an integer and exponent so I can send that data to a microcontroller/plc with full precision and decimal control. https://docs.python.org/2/library/decimal.html

I have got it to work, but it is hackish; does anyone know a better way? If not what path would I take to write a lower level "as_int()" function myself?

Example code:

from decimal import *

d=Decimal('3.14159')

t=d.as_tuple()

if t[0] == 0:

sign=1

else:

sign=-1

digits= t[1]

theExponent=t[2]

theInteger=sign * int(''.join(map(str,digits)))

theExponent

theInteger

For those that havent programmed PLCs, my alternative to this is to use an int and declare the decimal point in both systems or use a floating point (that only some PLCs support) and is lossy. So you can see why being able to do this would be awesome!

Thanks in advance!

You could do this :

[ This is 3 times faster than the other methods ]

d=Decimal('3.14159')

list_d = str(d).split('.')

# Converting the decimal to string and splitting it at the decimal point

# If decimal point exists => Negative exponent

# i.e 3.14159 => "3", "14159"

# exponent = -len("14159") = -5

# integer = int("3"+"14159") = 314159

if len(list_d) == 2:

# Exponent is the negative of length of no of digits after decimal point

exponent = -len(list_d[1])

integer = int(list_d[0] + list_d[1])

# If the decimal point does not exist => Positive / Zero exponent

# 3400

# exponent = len("3400") - len("34") = 2

# integer = int("34") = 34

else:

str_dec = list_d[0].rstrip('0')

exponent = len(list_d[0]) - len(str_dec)

integer = int(str_dec)

print integer, exponent

Performance testing

def to_int_exp(decimal_instance):

list_d = str(decimal_instance).split('.')

if len(list_d) == 2:

# Negative exponent

exponent = -len(list_d[1])

integer = int(list_d[0] + list_d[1])

else:

str_dec = list_d[0].rstrip('0')

# Positive exponent

exponent = len(list_d[0]) - len(str_dec)

integer = int(str_dec)

return integer, exponent

def to_int_exp1(decimal_instance):

t=decimal_instance.as_tuple()

if t[0] == 0:

sign=1

else:

sign=-1

digits= t[1]

exponent = t[2]

integer = sign * int(''.join(map(str,digits)))

return integer, exponent

Calculating the time taken for 100,000 loops for both methods :

ttaken = time.time()

for i in range(100000):

d = Decimal(random.uniform(-3, +3))

to_int_exp(d)

ttaken = time.time() - ttaken

print ttaken

Time taken for string parsing method : 1.56606507301

ttaken = time.time()

for i in range(100000):

d = Decimal(random.uniform(-3, +3))

to_int_exp1(d)

ttaken = time.time() - ttaken

print ttaken

Time taken for convertion to tuple then extract method : 4.67159295082
