Print exact value of PyTorch tensor (floating point precision)

Question

I'm trying to print torch.FloatTensor like:

a = torch.FloatTensor(3,3)
print(a)

This way I can get a value like:

0.0000e+00  0.0000e+00  3.2286e-41
1.2412e-40  1.2313e+00  1.6751e-37
2.6801e-36  3.5873e-41  9.4463e+21

But I want to get more accurate value, like 10 decimal point:

0.1234567891+01

With other python numerical objects, I could get it with:

print('{:.10f}'.format(a))

but in the case of a tensor, I get this error:

TypeError: unsupported format string passed to torch.FloatTensor.__format__

How can I print more precise values of tensors?

Answer 1

You can set the precision options:

torch.set_printoptions(precision=10)

There are more formatting options on the documentation page, it is very similar to numpy's.
