You can format a floating number to a fixed width in Python using the format function on the string.
example
nums = [0.555555555555, 1, 12.0542184, 5589.6654753]
for x in nums:
print("{:10.4f}".format(x))Output
This will give the output −
0.5556 1.0000 12.0542 5589.6655
Example
Using the same function, you can also format integers −
nums = [5, 20, 500]
for x in nums:
print("{:d}".format(x))Output
This will give the output −
5 20 500
Example
You can use it to provide padding as well, by specifying the number before d:
nums = [5, 20, 500]
for x in nums:
print("{:4d}".format(x))Output
This will give the output −
5 20 500
