How do I format a scientific number into decimal format in Python?

Question

I'm having trouble trying to convert the results of my "def pricing(question)" function into decimal values instead of scientific.

I tried converting the result to a string but that didn't work and I can't see anyway of formatting the pricex variables where they are.

Any help is much appreciated

You should post your code in the question. You can format it by highlighting it and pressing CTRL+k — Farhan.K, Sep 23 '16 at 14:36

You need to use a formatting string.

>>> import math
>>> print(math.pi)
3.141592653589793
>>> print("{:.2f}".format(math.pi))
3.14
