Re: decimal point

You want to take a look at printf. I believe the specific format you are looking for is "%0.2f"

UPDATE:I accidentally said 0.2d, I meant 0.2f but already clicked on submit. Thought I could fix it before anybody saw it, but ovid was too fast for me. :)

Close. `%0.2f`. `perl -e '$x=80.03723;printf "%0.2f", $x'` [download] Cheers, Ovid Update: For those who may be confused, ehdonhon originally had "%0.2d", instead of "%0.2f". My reply looks a bit odd without that context. Update 2: It seems I made my original post before ehdonhon fixed `/h(is\|er)/` node. Then, I made made my update before seeing ehdonhon's update, thus, my update looks confusing in light of the other update. Sigh. I guess we'll play ping-pong with the updates :) Join the Perlmonks Setiathome Group or just click on the the link and check out our stats.	[reply] [d/l]
