Rounding depends on what rounding you want. Most people think of 5/4 rounding. I prefer to round manually 5/4... 5 up, 4 down.
Dim n as Float = 26.660166666666 n = n * 100. 'n = 2666.0166666666 ' 2 decimal points rounding n = n + 0.5 'n = 2666.5166666666 ' 5/4 rounding* n = CLong(n) 'n = 2666 n = n / 100. 'n = 26.66 *If you wish to round down, do not add 0.5. (add 0.0) *If you wish to round up, add 0.999999999 If you wish to do 3 digits, then *1000 and /1000. This works for any type of rounding scheme and any reasonable number of digits. -Nando(Canada) -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Gianluigi <bagone...@gmail.com> To: mailing list for gambas users <gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Thu, 13 Jul 2017 12:30:23 +0200 Subject: Re: [Gambas-user] Best ways to format float values > One thing that could be useful? > > Public Sub Main() > > Dim n As Float = 26.6601666666666 > Dim b As Byte > > b = Val(Mid(CStr(Frac(n)), 5, 1)) > Print Round(n, -2) > If b >= 5 Then > Print Round(n, -2) > Else > Print Round(n + 0.01, -2) > Endif > > End > > Regards > Gianluigi > > 2017-07-13 7:39 GMT+02:00 alexchernoff <alexchern...@hotmail.com>: > > > Peace to all, > > > > this might a bit silly but what is the best way to format float values like > > 26.6601666666666 into having two digits AND/OR with rounding them? > > > > e.g. > > > > 26.6601666666666 becomes 26.66 shortened > > 26.6601666666666 becomes 26.67 rounded > > > > cheers! > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > View this message in context: http://gambas.8142.n7.nabble. > > com/Best-ways-to-format-float-values-tp59733.html > > Sent from the gambas-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------ > > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > > _______________________________________________ > > Gambas-user mailing list > > Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net > > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Gambas-user mailing list > Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user ------- End of Original Message ------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
