TMTOWTDI. Here’s a general approach using sprintf:

#! perl use strict; use warnings; use Test::More; while (<DATA>) { my ($decimals, $source, $target) = / (\d+) \D+ ([\d.]+) \D+ ([\d.] ++) /x; my $result = round($source, $decimals); is($result, $target, "round $source to $target"); } done_testing(); sub round { my ($num, $decimals) = @_; return sprintf("%.*f0", $decimals, $num); } __DATA__ 1 1.24 to 1.20 1 13.25 to 13.30 1 2.90 to 2.90 1 2.99 to 3.00 1 2.92 to 2.90 1 14 to 14.00 5 1.2345678 to 1.234570

Output:

16:05 >perl 1544_SoPW.pl ok 1 - round 1.24 to 1.20 ok 2 - round 13.25 to 13.30 ok 3 - round 2.90 to 2.90 ok 4 - round 2.99 to 3.00 ok 5 - round 2.92 to 2.90 ok 6 - round 14 to 14.00 ok 7 - round 1.2345678 to 1.234570 1..7 16:05 >

Hope that helps,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
