Converting decimals

Good morning!

If I have a variable that is let’s say 2000.846

What would be the easiest way to convert the decimals to a specific number?

If above .75 convert to .50
If above .50 convert to .25
If above .25 convert to .00

Here is one way to go about it:

number = 2000.846

integer = int (number)
decimal = number - integer

if decimal > .75 : decimal = .50
elif decimal > .50 : decimal = .25
else : decimal = .00

output = integer + decimal
print (f'{output:.2f}')

OoOooOoo thats how you split the number and the decimal up! Thank you thank you!!

That is a way to get the decimal part of a number. You can also use the modulo operator.

decimal = 1.234 % 1

Or you can use the divmod function to get the whole and decimal parts

whole, decimal = divmod(1.234, 1)

Instead of the if statements you could use floor division (//).

number = 2000.846
whole, decimal = divmod(number, 1)
rounded = whole + (decimal // 0.25)*0.25
print (rounded)

As in everything Python there are many ways to solve almost any problem.
