What do you mean "fails"? Is it the engineering notation you're unfamiliar with? What were you _expecting_? – jonrsharpe Jul 31 '22 at 07:49

@jonrsharpe I wasn't expecting the 1 at the end as everyone would not expect? – ghostcasper Jul 31 '22 at 07:53

There is a module (decimal) which provides for floating-point arithmetic to arbitrary precision. – user19077881 Jul 31 '22 at 08:02

It is not a bug! Your code works perfectly fine.
... switches to scientific notation when the values are very large or very small. For example:
- 2.3e^-5, means 2.3 times ten to the minus five power, or 0.000023
- 4.5e^6 means 4.5 times ten to the sixth power, or 4500000 which is the same as 4,500,000
