Re^12: Algorithm for cancelling common factors between two lists of multiplicands

How do I get that output reduced to a real in scientific format?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

module ScientificFormat (sciformat) where

import Ratio

-- return prec+1 digits because I don't round

sciformat prec r =
    sign ++ digits ++ "e" ++ show exp
  where
    (ds, exp) = tosci (abs numer) (denominator r) 0
    numer     = numerator r
    sign      = if signum numer < 0 then "-" else "+"
    digits    = show (head ds') ++ "." ++ concatMap show (tail ds')
    ds'       = take (prec+1) (ds ++ repeat 0)

tosci 0     _     _   = ([0], 0)
tosci numer denom exp =
    case numer `div` denom of
    0           -> tosci (10 * numer) denom (exp-1)
    x | x >= 10 -> tosci numer (10*denom) (exp+1)
    _           -> (digits numer denom, exp)

digits n d =
    let (q,r) = n `quotRem` d in q : digits (10*r) d
