I'm trying to reduce the number of decimals that I'm getting after some calculations. The print() where my problem arises looks like this:
print("Mean resistivity: {res} Ohm m".format(res=np.mean(resistivity)))
And it outputs this:
Mean resistivity: 1.6628449915450776e-08 Ohm m
Now I want to reduce the number of decimal places that are printed to 3. I tried doing it with string formatting, like this:
print("Mean resistivity: {res:.3f} Ohm m".format(res=np.mean(resistivity)))
However, this code prints:
Mean resistivity: 0.000 Ohm m
What I actually want is this:
Mean resistivity: 1.663e-8 Ohm m
How can I format res to only be displayed as scientific notation but with only 3 decimal places?
