When displaying the value of a decimal currently with .ToString()
, it's accurate to like 15 decimal places, and since I'm using it to represent dollars and cents, I only want the output to be 2 decimal places.
Do I use a variation of .ToString()
for this?
1. DecimalFormat(“0.00”) We can use DecimalFormat("0.00") to ensure the number is round to 2 decimal places.
In Python, to print 2 decimal places we will use str. format() with “{:. 2f}” as string and float as a number. Call print and it will print the float with 2 decimal places.
format("%. 2f", 1.23456); This will format the floating point number 1.23456 up-to 2 decimal places, because we have used two after decimal point in formatting instruction %.
decimalVar.ToString("#.##"); // returns ".5" when decimalVar == 0.5m
or
decimalVar.ToString("0.##"); // returns "0.5" when decimalVar == 0.5m
or
decimalVar.ToString("0.00"); // returns "0.50" when decimalVar == 0.5m
