Motivation
There is no support for floating-point inputs with scientific notation in the current implementation of miniWDL. Float values are rounded to 6 decimal points only; for example, floats smaller than 0.000001 are rounded to 0.0. Adding support for float input in scientific notation and removing float rounding using repr method to keep the input float value as is.
NOTE: floats smaller than 0.0001 will be return in scientific notations.
