"Floor" function with decimals?


Recommended Posts

Is there a floor-like function that rounds numbers to a certain number of decimal places?  I think the built-in floor function only goes to the integer, but I need one that works with decimal places.  For example,

I want 13.185 to round down to 13.18, not 13.19.   Similarly, I want 13.1899 to round to 13.18.

Multiply the incoming number by 10 times the number of decimal places you want, use Floor, divide the result by the number you multiplied it by to start with. E.G. Floor(13.1899 * 10^2) / 10^2

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Try this:

ConsoleWrite(FloorEx(13.185) & @LF)
 ConsoleWrite(FloorEx(13.1899) & @LF)

Func FloorEx($fNumber, $iDec = 3)
    Return Floor(Int($fNumber * 10^($iDec - 1))) / 10^($iDec - 1)
EndFunc

StringFormat is simpler in this case.

Stringformat rounds up and down. But Floor is needed.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to
build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe
trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
So far, the Universe is winning.

Just in case trailing zeros are needed to show actual number of decimal places.

ConsoleWrite(FloorEx(13.185, 2) & @LF) ; Returns 13.18
ConsoleWrite(FloorEx(13.189, 2) & @LF) ; Returns 13.18
ConsoleWrite(FloorEx(13.1009) & @LF)   ; Returns 13.100


Func FloorEx($fNumber, $iDec = 3)
    Return StringFormat("%." & $iDec & "f", Floor($fNumber * 10 ^ $iDec) / 10 ^ $iDec)
EndFunc   ;==>FloorEx
Edit: WTF? Removed the Int. Edited by Malkey

Correct, this is not a good alternative.

An easier way to do this would be to use Int instead of Floor in my example, as they do the same thing in this example.

Not really, if the number is negative.

Global $x = -1.6

ConsoleWrite(Int($x) & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(Floor($x) & @LF)

Argh, it's always the edge cases that get me. :)
