Rounding a number in Python but keeping ending zeros
(6 answers)
Closed 7 months ago.
I tried the following in my Jupyter notebook. When I round off value to 3 decimal points, its showing 3 decimal values. But when I round off to 2 decimal points, its showing 1 decimal value only.
round(64.10343, 4)
output: 64.1034
round(64.10343, 3)
output: 64.103
round(64.10343, 2)
output: 64.1
It happens because when you round to two decimal points after rounding 64.10 is left since second decimal is zero, output is not displayed.

ceil((14.84 - 14.04)/0.08)
output - 11
I was expecting the output to be 10 when manually calculated but when running it in python, it is giving output as 11
Is floating point math broken?
The float value from your equation is actually 10.000000000000009 because of how floats are handled (see link for more information). So, even though it is such a small amount above 10 the ceiling function will still place it at 11.
You can try rounding the number to a decimal point that you trust to get the value you want:
from math import ceil
ceil(round((14.84 - 14.04)/0.08, 2))
Output: 10

How to print float to n decimal places including trailing 0s?

Can we get up to 2 precision values when we add 2 float values of containing 0 as 2nd precision without changing its type as Float
I have a snippet like
a = 1.20+1.20
print a
the output should be like
2.40
but I got the output as 2.4 because python rounds off
I've tried like this ,
from decimal import *
getcontext().prec = 3
Decimal(1.20)+Decimal(1.20)
Decimal('2.40')
But every time I need to change the precision value!
can we get as 2.40 without changing its type?
It should contain a float value as 2.40, not a string!
Yes! you can round a float number.
>>> round(2.675, 2)
2.67
You can see more details in python's documentation

Add zeros to a float after the decimal point in Python
(5 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I need to print some results with 5 numbers after decimal points. I'm using round() function but it doesn't output the last digit if it's a zero. Example:
print(str(round(-82.43670009888078, 5)))
print(str(round(49.5211007473081, 5)))
Would output:
-82.4367
49.5211
But I need:
-82.43670
49.52110
If the last digit isn't 0 it works fine.
You can use .format() to print decimals
print ("{:.5f}".format(a))
This will print >>> 49.52110 as desired.
OR
you could simply use
format(a, '.5f')

Python round up integer to next hundred
(10 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am trying to round numbers up in python 3. In my existing code, the number either round up to the nearest 10 or down. For example, 67 goes to 70 and 64 goes to 60. I would like the number to always round up to the nearest multiple of 10, so that 67-->70 and 64-->70. Here is my code for rounding so far:
##ROUNDING SumOfUsrinput TO NEAREST 10##
SumOfUsrinput=int(input("Please enter the sum: "))
SumRounded=round(SumOfUsrinput,-1)
print (SumRounded)
I would appreciate it if you could answer simple and explain how it works.
One way of rounding up would be to use integer division to go down to the precision you want and then multiplying back up. e.g.,:
Sumrounded = SumOfusrinput // (-10) * (-10)

Python 3.x rounding behavior
(13 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
Looks like both 4.5 and 5.5 have exact float representations in Python 3.5:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> Decimal(4.5)
Decimal('4.5')
>>> Decimal(5.5)
Decimal('5.5')
If this is the case, then why
>>> round(4.5)
4
>>> round(5.5)
6
?
In Python 3, exact half way numbers are rounded to the nearest even result. This behavior changed in Python 3
The round() function rounding strategy and return type have changed. Exact halfway cases are now rounded to the nearest even result instead of away from zero. (For example, round(2.5) now returns 2 rather than 3.) round(x[, n]) now delegates to x.round([n]) instead of always returning a float. It generally returns an integer when called with a single argument and a value of the same type as x when called with two arguments.
Python 3 uses Bankers Rounding, which rounds .5 values to the closest even number.
