Rounding a double value to x number of decimal places in swift

Question

Can anyone tell me how to round a double value to x number of decimal places in Swift?

I have:

var totalWorkTimeInHours = (totalWorkTime/60/60)
         


        

Answer 1

The best way to format a double property is to use the Apple predefined methods.

mutating func round(_ rule: FloatingPointRoundingRule)

FloatingPointRoundingRule is a enum which has following possibilities

Enumeration Cases:

case awayFromZero Round to the closest allowed value whose magnitude is greater than or equal to that of the source.

case down Round to the closest allowed value that is less than or equal to the source.

case toNearestOrAwayFromZero Round to the closest allowed value; if two values are equally close, the one with greater magnitude is chosen.

case toNearestOrEven Round to the closest allowed value; if two values are equally close, the even one is chosen.

case towardZero Round to the closest allowed value whose magnitude is less than or equal to that of the source.

case up Round to the closest allowed value that is greater than or equal to the source.

var aNumber : Double = 5.2
aNumber.rounded(.up) // 6.0
