input(decimal().compare())
The method return decimal values in various decimal methods through input() method.
from decimal import Decimal

print("Python Decimal Methods")
a=Decimal(input("Enter Decimal Value: "))

print("Your value in Decimal().adjusted()) method is: ", Decimal(a).adjusted())

print("---------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
print("While other methods return your value as: ")
print("Your value in Decimal().as_tuple(() method is: ", Decimal(a).as_tuple())

print("---------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
print("Your value in Decimal().canonical() method is: ", Decimal(a).canonical())

print("---------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
print("Your value in Decimal().compare(your value-1) method is: ", Decimal(a).compare(a-1))

print("---------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
print("Your value in Decimal().compare_signal(3)) method is: ", Decimal(a).compare_signal(3))
