Precision String Format Specifier In Swift

Question

Below is how I would have previously truncated a float to two decimal places

NSLog(@\" %.02f %.02f %.02f\", r, g, b);

I checked the docs an

Answer 1

A version of Vincent Guerci's ruby / python % operator, updated for Swift 2.1:

func %(format:String, args:[CVarArgType]) -> String {
  return String(format:format, arguments:args)
}

"Hello %@, This is pi : %.2f" % ["World", M_PI]

Answer 2

What about extensions on Double and CGFloat types:

extension Double {

   func formatted(_ decimalPlaces: Int?) -> String {
      let theDecimalPlaces : Int
      if decimalPlaces != nil {
         theDecimalPlaces = decimalPlaces!
      }
      else {
         theDecimalPlaces = 2
      }
      let theNumberFormatter = NumberFormatter()
      theNumberFormatter.formatterBehavior = .behavior10_4
      theNumberFormatter.minimumIntegerDigits = 1
      theNumberFormatter.minimumFractionDigits = 1
      theNumberFormatter.maximumFractionDigits = theDecimalPlaces
      theNumberFormatter.usesGroupingSeparator = true
      theNumberFormatter.groupingSeparator = " "
      theNumberFormatter.groupingSize = 3

      if let theResult = theNumberFormatter.string(from: NSNumber(value:self)) {
         return theResult
      }
      else {
         return "\(self)"
      }
   }
}

Usage:

let aNumber: Double = 112465848348508.458758344
Swift.print("The number: \(aNumber.formatted(2))")

prints: 112 465 848 348 508.46

Answer 3

use

CGFloat 

or

Float.roundTo(places:2)

Answer 4

Swift 4

let string = String(format: "%.2f", locale: Locale.current, arguments: 15.123)

Answer 5

use below method

let output = String.localizedStringWithFormat(" %.02f %.02f %.02f", r, g, b)

println(output)

Answer 6

Why make it so complicated? You can use this instead:

import UIKit

let PI = 3.14159265359

round( PI ) // 3.0 rounded to the nearest decimal
round( PI * 100 ) / 100 //3.14 rounded to the nearest hundredth
round( PI * 1000 ) / 1000 // 3.142 rounded to the nearest thousandth

See it work in Playground.
