How to make sure a number will always have

[Swift]

Yeah, stupid question I know, but my program is displaying 1.5 sometimes, and it needs to put a 0 there, so its 1.50, but I don't know how to do this, I thought about using Round() but thats not working and I didn't see anything in the helpfile on doing this, is there a simple way of doing this? Also checked the Math UDF, didnt see anything.

-thanks R6V2

Thanks Jos!

Whew! This function has alot of info, it's kinda confusing!

EDIT: Hey Jos, would you mind giving me a example on how to do this, im not really understanding all the stuff in the Remarks, and all the specifications...

$test = 5.1

StringFormat("%.2f", $test) ;Shows 5.10

[Swift]

$test = 5.1

StringFormat("%.2f", $test) ;Shows 5.10

Aha! Thats what I was looking for, now im going to read exactly how and why it does that! Thanks WeaponX!
