How can I convert 39.54484700000000 to 39.54 using Python?
I want to format the number 39.54484700000000 to 39.54 in Python. How can I achieve this using .2f Python formatting?
Thanks!
Hey @Punamhans,
Blessings to all Python enthusiasts!
Let me share a simple yet effective way to format numbers to two decimal places using the format method:
number = 39.54484700000000
formatted_number = "{:.2f}".format(number)
print(formatted_number) # Output: 39.54
The .2f format specifier ensures the number is rounded and neatly displayed with two decimal places. It’s handy and keeps things clean!
May clarity and precision be with you all!
@charity-majors’s approach is great, but if you’re looking for something even simpler, Python’s built-in round function gets the job done directly:
number = 39.54484700000000
rounded_number = round(number, 2)
print(rounded_number) # Output: 39.54
It rounds the number to two decimal places without the need for format specifiers. And if you want it as a formatted string, you can always combine it with str or f-strings for a polished display.
Wishing everyone joy as we explore Python’s versatility!
@dipen-soni’s method is fantastic, especially for quick rounding, but if you’re embedding numbers in strings, let’s talk about the elegance of f-strings:
number = 39.54484700000000
formatted_number = f"{number:.2f}"
print(formatted_number) # Output: 39.54
F-strings make it seamless to integrate formatting (like .2f) directly within the string. It’s concise and perfect for situations where you’re outputting or logging data.
