From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Townsend Sent: Wednesday, 20 June 2007 10:50 a.m. To: perl-win32-users@listserv.activestate.com Cc: Chad Freeman Subject: Truncating decimal number
I'm trying to truncate a number, 10.25233006477356, to 6 decimal points. E.g. 10.252330. I don't need to round the number, I just want it to drop everything after the 6th decimal point. This should be easy, but I'm drawing a blank. Thanks Working with strings is probably the most natural way. Convert to a string and peel off the string as far as the 6th DP as people are suggesting. However, mathematically speaking, subtracting 0.000 000 5 from the number and then rounding should work exactly the same. Hope that helps Brian Rowlands
