Is there any way to reduce the amount of decimals math might be carried too short of printf?
I always find printf to end up taking a fair bit of time, since I've forgotten most of what I ever knew about it each time I run into a need for it. I just wondered if there is any other kind of limiting mechanism? It would be handy if simple math like: my $ans = (261 / 59.00) could be made to show only 2 decimal places like: 4.42 instead of: 4.42372881355932 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
