2nd Code Block demonstrates failure in comment of output

    {x,y,z}=GeoPositionXYZ[OneWeb-0452]["XYZ"]; Print["Current Postion of OneWeb-0452 is(x=",SetPrecision[x,2],", y=",SetPrecision[y,2], ", z=",SetPrecision[z,2 ]," meters from the Center of the Earth"]
(* Current Position of OneWeb-0452 is(x=3.1*10^6, y=5.8*10^6, z=2.4*10^6 meters from the Center of the Earth*)

(* versus *)

Print["Current Position of OneWeb-0452 is(x=", 
 ToString[SetPrecision[x, 2]], ", y=", SetPrecision[y, 2], ", z=", 
 SetPrecision[z, 2 ], " meters from the Center of the Earth"]

(* Current Positiion of OneWeb-0452 is(x=      6
3.1 10, y=5.8*10^6, z=2.4*10^6 meters from the Center of the Earth*)

    $\begingroup$ Try ToString[SetPrecision[x, 2], InputForm]. See the first examples here. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Re-expands to Machine Precision so not the desired result. However, "TraditionalForm" did the trick! $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Your code doesn't work for me. I'm not sure what the input to SetPrecision is. I also wonder about the title: SetPrecision[x, 1.2] does not appear in your code. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Are you looking for NumberForm rather than SetPrecision? $\endgroup$
