method and enter your desired number to be formatted as thenumber
parameter, and the level of precision as theprecision
parameter:>>> testA = 3.141592653589793 # Not necessary to set number as variable. >>> testA = set_precision(testA, 2) >>> print(testA) '3.15' >>> testB = 3.141592653589793 >>> testB = set_precision(testB, 4) >>> print(testB) '3.1416'
Note that the output is automatically rounded up when
number >= 5
, and down whennumber < 5
.
- Both params can be entered in string format, and will output successfully assuming that both parameters can be cast to their appropriate types.
