`scipy.io._harwell_boeing._fortran_format_parser:ExpFormat.from_number`

source: /scipy/io/_harwell_boeing/_fortran_format_parser.py :97

Summary

Given a float number, returns a "reasonable" ExpFormat instance to represent any number between -n and n.

Parameters

n : float: max number one wants to be able to represent
min : int: minimum number of characters to use for the format

Returns

res : ExpFormat: ExpFormat instance with reasonable (see Notes) computed width

Notes

Reasonable should be understood as the minimal string length necessary to avoid losing precision.
