microPython Formating a number without float

Question

I don't have the luxury of floating point precision and are very limited on code space / ram / speed etc.

TMP = 2562
DEG = str(int(TMP/100))+'.'+str(TMP % 100)
print(DEG)
>> 25.62

Is there a more pythionc way of achieving this formatting ?

Answer 1

Not sure if I understand the question correctly. But a more pythonic way to format the number to a .2 decimal string would be:

TMP = 2562
DEG = "{:.2f}".format(TMP/100)
print(DEG)
>> 25.62

Edit 2021: Or when using python3.6 or higher:

TMP = 2562
DEG = f"{TMP/100:.2f}"
print(DEG)
>> 25.62

Answer 2

TMP = 2562
float(TMP)/100
>>> 25.62

Does that answer your question? here's the reference : https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/pyboard/reference/asm_thumb2_float.html#convert-between-integer-and-float
