scipy.io._harwell_boeing._fortran_format_parser:IntFormat.from_number

source: /scipy/io/_harwell_boeing/_fortran_format_parser.py :37

Summary

Given an integer, returns a "reasonable" IntFormat instance to represent any number between 0 and n if n > 0, -n and n if n < 0

Parameters

n : int

max number one wants to be able to represent

min : int

minimum number of characters to use for the format

Returns

res : IntFormat

IntFormat instance with reasonable (see Notes) computed width

Notes

Reasonable should be understood as the minimal string length necessary without losing precision. For example, IntFormat.from_number(1) will return an IntFormat instance of width 2, so that any 0 and 1 may be represented as 1-character strings without loss of information.
