Hi Matrix Team,

Im having some problems with Float Rounding. I have attached an example file.
What am i doing wrong? Only one of the roundings seem to do something.

Thanks,

Hello Wayne,

It looks like it's working in the simulation, but maybe the precision of storing and displaying the number is not ideal. I beleive this is the limitation of the float format rather than anything else.
This is a nice tool as it allows you to enter a real number and it will show you the floating point representation of the number.

100.7 is actually stored as 100.6999969482421875
100.68 as 100.68000030517578125
etc

Hi everyone

What I wanted was to only display to two places after the decimal point.

I thought in the past when you did a round to two decimal places you would loose all the other numbers.

So how do you do it.

Thanks

Hi Wayne,

Try using str = FloatToStr$(val, 2)
Then display the string str.

Martin, Thanks I forgot about that.
