How can I get a list of large numbers in decimal form in maple?

Question

due to this command "For i from X to XX do x*y end do ", I need to make a list of numbers. Since "x" and "y" are so large maple gives me the list of numbers in scientific format. But I need to get them in decimal form. how can I get them in decimal? after running the program, I have used "numeric formatting". Although In maple this causes that the numbers are displayed in decimal but I when I want to make a copy and paste them in Notepad, surprisingly, the decimal form return to scientific form again. how can I get rid of this trouble. I appreciate anyone who help me in this way. Thank you again.

Answer 1

It would be better if you gave us at least one concrete example with an actual number.

Would either of S or P below suffice, which you could wrap around your individual scalar results from evalf?

restart;
y := 4/17 * 10^(-6):

for x from 1 to 7 do evalf(x*y) end do; # what you don't want?

                                -7
                  2.352941176 10  
                                -7
                  4.705882353 10

P:=X->printf( cat("%",
                  sprintf("%d.%d",
                          abs(op(2,X)),abs(op(2,X))),"f\n"),
              X):

for x from 1 to 7 do P(evalf(x*y)) end do;
