No, mine does no padding. It's a very simple loop which just chops off the
last character if there are more than six characters after the decimal
point. Come to think of it, you could probably replace it with a chop()
command:
old:
until (length($a) - index($a, '.') < 8){
$a = substr($a, 0, (length($a)-1))
}
new:
until (length($a) - index($a, '.') < 8){
chop $a;
}
Yep, it works! ;o)
I like it this way for readability, but you could also make it one line:
until (length($a) - index($a, '.') < 8){chop $a;}

I think what I need is numbers with less than 6 decimals should be left as
it is.
Does your solution pad them with zeroes.thanks naveen

I was in too much of a hurry to be the one helping someone else, rather

could
test it. ;o)

Perhaps this is really clumsy, but maybe this will help. If not, the
others on the list will fix us right up.
until (length($a) - index($a, '.') < 8){
$a = substr($a, 0, (length($a)-1))
}

Hi,
I have a really simple question.I have two numbers
say $a = 1.559999
$b=1.5599999999
how do I compare them to exactly 6 decimals without doing a round off.I
used sprintf but it does a round off.
thank you.
