Decimal#as_tuple() : as_tuple() is a Decimal class method which returns named tuple representation of the Decimal value.
Syntax: Decimal.as_tuple() Parameter: Decimal values Return: tuple with values - sign - digits - exponent
Code #1 : Example for as_tuple() method Python3
# Python Program explaining 
# as_tuple() method

# loading decimal library
from decimal import *


# Initializing a decimal value
a = Decimal(-1)

b = Decimal('0.142857')

# printing Decimal values
print ("Decimal value a : ", a)
print ("Decimal value b : ", b)


# Using Decimal.as_tuple() method
print ("\n\nDecimal a with as_tuple() method : ", a.as_tuple())

print ("Decimal b with as_tuple() method : ", b.as_tuple())
Output :
Decimal value a :  -1
Decimal value b :  0.142857


Decimal a with as_tuple() method :  DecimalTuple(sign=1, digits=(1, ), exponent=0)
Decimal b with as_tuple() method :  DecimalTuple(sign=0, digits=(1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7), exponent=-6)

Code #2 : Example for as_tuple() method Python3
# Python Program explaining 
# as_tuple() method

# loading decimal library
from decimal import *


# Initializing a decimal value
a = Decimal('-3.14')

b = Decimal('321e + 5')

# printing Decimal values
print ("Decimal value a : ", a)
print ("Decimal value b : ", b)


# Using Decimal.as_tuple() method
print ("\n\nDecimal a with as_tuple() method : ", a.as_tuple())

print ("Decimal b with as_tuple() method : ", b.as_tuple())
Output :
Decimal value a :  -3.14
Decimal value b :  3.21E+7


Decimal a with as_tuple() method :  DecimalTuple(sign=1, digits=(3, 1, 4), exponent=-2)
Decimal b with as_tuple() method :  DecimalTuple(sign=0, digits=(3, 2, 1), exponent=5)
