Controlling trailing zeros with rounding? - RedSkeleton007 - Jan-25-2018 I'm trying to print out floats in currency format, but no matter what numbers I specify for rounding parameters, it only prints out one 0 after the decimal point: #!/usr/bin/env python3 #FormattingStuff.py def listOfFloats(): floatsList = [20.0007, 20.00, 3.00, 5.780001] print("$" + str(round(floatsList[1], 2))) print("$" + str(round(floatsList[1], 3))) def main(): listOfFloats() main()The output is: Why are they the same? I'm trying to output $20.00
RE: Controlling trailing zeros with rounding? - j.crater - Jan-25-2018 round is doing the rouding mathematically, so if last decimal(s) is zero(es) it will omit them from printing. Try with the format method instead: print('${:.2f}'.format(round(floatsList[1], 2))) |
