Rounding/Truncating Numbers - Trinx - Jan-16-2019 How do I format a variable to a standard money format? This is what I am currently doing: total = 214.5467 print('Your total is: $' + str(total)[0:4])Problem is, it only puts out 3 digits, meaning most of the number will be ignored. What commands do I need to use to fix this? RE: Rounding/Truncating Numbers - Larz60+ - Jan-16-2019 use: print('Your total is: $ {:4.6f}'.format(total))the .6 tells format to use 6 decimal places to right the 4, 4 on left 'f' = float RE: Rounding/Truncating Numbers - snippsat - Jan-16-2019 Use f-string. >>> total = 214.5467 >>> print(f'Your total is: $ {total:.2f}') Your total is: $ 214.55 >>> for word in 'f-strings are awesome'.split(): ... print(f'{word.capitalize():~^20}') ... ~~~~~F-strings~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~Are~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~Awesome~~~~~~~ RE: Rounding/Truncating Numbers - Trinx - Jan-16-2019 (Jan-16-2019, 10:24 PM)Larz60+ Wrote: use: (Jan-16-2019, 10:39 PM)snippsat Wrote: Use f-string. Wow! Thanks for the advice guys. I had never heard of an f-string before. I finally got a script I've been working on finished with your advice.
