Answer 1

The method I use is that of string slicing. It's relatively quick and simple.

First, convert the float to a string, the choose the length you would like it to be.

float = str(float)[:5]

In the single line above, we've converted the value to a string, then kept the string only to its first four digits or characters (inclusive).

Hope that helps!
