I'm looking for a simple way to make NaN values output as something
like '-' or even just a space instead of the string 'nan'. This would
then make it much easier to handle outputting values from sensors when
not all sensors are present.
So, for example, my battery monitoring program outputs:-
Battery Voltages and Currents
Leisure Battery - 12.42 volts -0.52 Amps
Starter Battery - 12.34 volts -0.01 Amps
If the starter battery sensor has failed, or is disconnected, I see:-
Battery Voltages and Currents
Leisure Battery - 12.42 volts -0.52 Amps
Starter Battery - nan volts nan Amps
What I would like is for those 'nan' strings to be just a '-' or
something similar.
Obviously I can write conditional code to check for float('nan')
values but is there a neater way with any sort of formatting string or
other sort of cleverness?
Uhm, I cannot see how to avoid conditional code.
Somewhere, function, class, method, there should be
an "if isnan(x)".
You can hide that, but you cannot avoid, I suspect.
