Float

I’m trying to display a float value derived from some math with .00 precession. So I’ve done this with integer values all the time (with whole numbers). The thing that ain’t working is:


string text= numtostring(FLOATNUMBER,0,0);


I’m assuming I need to find a Float to String command. I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find it. I also need to round so I’m not dealing with this: 0.000000000000. I looked at the doc. for the round command and it seems like it only rounds up to whole numbers?


Any Help?

Hi Gavin,

What are really want to do? Can you give some example?

If you want to round down, take a look at the trunc command.

Gavin - if you wanted 2 decimal points of precision wouldn't your command need to look like this?
string text= numtostring(FLOATNUMBER,0,2);

Gavin,

If you want to round to example 2 decimals and then use the rounded value later.
You can do like this:

double roundedfloat=round(FLOATNUMBER*100)/100;

Joe,

Your command does exactly what you want.

Try this in the script window:
numtostring(11.236,0,2)

It will return 11.24 as a string.
