Question by Karsnen_2 · Dec 07, 2011 at 08:12 PM · javascriptfloatdecimal

print to only two decimal places.

Hello,

Problem:

When I do a division with the resultant value in float, I get values more than 3-4 decimal places. I would have to print this on the console.

What should I do in order to print it to just 2 decimal places.

Code:

 Debug.Log("Distance travelled" + distance + "  m");


The NEED :

Considering the above code, the value distance prints itself to 4 decimals places. i.e. I would like to have it printed as 4.56 rather than 4.56234.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE

@$$anonymous$$eryu

Add that as an answer ins$$anonymous$$d of a comment and I'll vote it up for you. You're absolutely right - this isn't a Unity question, it's a basic javascript question.

@NOAA_Julien: Unity doesn't use web Javascript, so that's not the "equivalent" and won't work in Unity. The Unityscript equivalent of "`decimalVar.ToString ("#.##");`" is--wait for it--"`decimalVar.ToString ("#.##");`".

@Eric5h5

I certainly do stand corrected. I program exclusively in C#, so JS and US are basically the same thing as far as I'm concerned :).

Not sure why the fact that you don't use it would make it similar to javascript.

UnityScript is a translation of C# that uses a syntax similar to javascript.

You can use this:

 Debug.Log("Distance travelled" + distance.ToString("F2") + "  m");

"Fn" format the float value to n decimal places.
