The code below isn't complete, but should give an idea of what I'm doing. What's irritating is that my table isn't lining up after '100.001'. I want to keep the same numbers, so is there something I can do to stop the '|' from sticking out after 100.001?
for j in numbers:
print('{} {} {} {}\n'.format(number, "|", num, "|", etc, etc))
#output
1 | 0.617 | 98.333 | 98.332 | 0.108 | 0.101 | 91.678 |
2 | 0.617 | 98.332 | 98.332 | 0.101 | 0.101 | 100.001 |
3 | 0.617 | 0.180 | 98.335 | 0.106 | 98.335 | 93.330 |
4 | 0.617 | 0.107 | 98.336 | 0.105 | 0.101 | 95.004 |
So you want format the output numbers. To do this you can use formatting specifiers (similar to C the printf|sprintf|fprintf functions formatting specifiers).
Firstly, you should be specific about the output format of the numbers, and then, all your output will be printed on that specific according to such. So if you want align '100.001', I suggest you to use the format DDD.ddd (three digits numbers with three decimals). In Python use the specifier ":06.3", just like the following:
'{:06.3f}'.format(3.141592653589793)
Should print:
003.142
