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 t$$anonymous$$s 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

You can use t$$anonymous$$s:

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

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