does the "%.2f" part of the code specify that only the first two decimal places should be returned? Yes. More strictly speaking the returned value will be the actual value, rounded to two decimal places in accordance with the rule "round to nearest, ties to even". `C:\>perl -le "printf '%.2f', 0.245;" 0.24 C:\>perl -le "printf '%.2f', 0.255;" 0.26` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Hello ~~Marie~~ oops.. Maire, > Just to double check that I've understood everything here, does the "%.2f".. This is covered under `sprintf` documentation, specifically in the paragraph "precision, or maximum width". Anyway try it to see: `# pay attention to MSWin32 double quotes! perl -e "printf qq($_\n),3.141592 for '%f','%.0f','%.1f','%.2f'" 3.141592 3 3.1 3.14` [download] L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
