Round a value to an integer [1-9] times a power of 10. How would you write a test for this method?
import numpy as np
def round_exponential(val):

Round a value to an integer [1-9] times a power of 10.

>>> val1 = 7.83126342297e-07
>>> print round_exponential(val1)
>>> 8e-07
>>> val2 = -6.9322190125e+13
>>> print round_exponential(val2)
>>> -7e+13

expt = np.floor(np.log10(np.abs(val)))
mant = val / 10**expt
return np.round(mant) * 10**expt
