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

You can add this extension :

extension Double {
    var clean: String {
        return self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 ? String(format: "%.0f", self) : String(format: "%.2f", self)
    }
}

and call it like this :

let ex: Double = 10.123546789
print(ex.clean) // 10.12

Answer 2

//find the distance between two points
let coordinateSource = CLLocation(latitude: 30.7717625, longitude:76.5741449 )
let coordinateDestination = CLLocation(latitude: 29.9810859, longitude: 76.5663599)
let distanceInMeters = coordinateSource.distance(from: coordinateDestination)
let valueInKms = distanceInMeters/1000
let preciseValueUptoThreeDigit = Double(round(1000*valueInKms)/1000)
self.lblTotalDistance.text = "Distance is : \(preciseValueUptoThreeDigit) kms"

Answer 3

This is a fully worked code

Swift 3.0/4.0/5.0 , Xcode 9.0 GM/9.2 and above

let doubleValue : Double = 123.32565254455
self.lblValue.text = String(format:"%.f", doubleValue)
print(self.lblValue.text)

output - 123

let doubleValue : Double = 123.32565254455
self.lblValue_1.text = String(format:"%.1f", doubleValue)
print(self.lblValue_1.text)

output - 123.3

let doubleValue : Double = 123.32565254455
self.lblValue_2.text = String(format:"%.2f", doubleValue)
print(self.lblValue_2.text)

output - 123.33

let doubleValue : Double = 123.32565254455
self.lblValue_3.text = String(format:"%.3f", doubleValue)
print(self.lblValue_3.text)

output - 123.326

Answer 4

I would use

print(String(format: "%.3f", totalWorkTimeInHours))

and change .3f to any number of decimal numbers you need

Answer 5

round a double value to x number of decimal
NO. of digits after decimal

var x = 1.5657676754
var y = (x*10000).rounded()/10000
print(y)  // 1.5658 

---

var x = 1.5657676754 
var y = (x*100).rounded()/100
print(y)  // 1.57 

---

var x = 1.5657676754
var y = (x*10).rounded()/10
print(y)  // 1.6

Answer 6

I found this wondering if it is possible to correct a user's input. That is if they enter three decimals instead of two for a dollar amount. Say 1.111 instead of 1.11 can you fix it by rounding? The answer for many reasons is no! With money anything over i.e. 0.001 would eventually cause problems in a real checkbook.

Here is a function to check the users input for too many values after the period. But which will allow 1., 1.1 and 1.11.

It is assumed that the value has already been checked for successful conversion from a String to a Double.

//func need to be where transactionAmount.text is in scope

func checkDoublesForOnlyTwoDecimalsOrLess()->Bool{


    var theTransactionCharacterMinusThree: Character = "A"
    var theTransactionCharacterMinusTwo: Character = "A"
    var theTransactionCharacterMinusOne: Character = "A"

    var result = false

    var periodCharacter:Character = "."


    var myCopyString = transactionAmount.text!

    if myCopyString.containsString(".") {

         if( myCopyString.characters.count >= 3){
                        theTransactionCharacterMinusThree = myCopyString[myCopyString.endIndex.advancedBy(-3)]
         }

        if( myCopyString.characters.count >= 2){
            theTransactionCharacterMinusTwo = myCopyString[myCopyString.endIndex.advancedBy(-2)]
        }

        if( myCopyString.characters.count > 1){
            theTransactionCharacterMinusOne = myCopyString[myCopyString.endIndex.advancedBy(-1)]
        }


          if  theTransactionCharacterMinusThree  == periodCharacter {

                            result = true
          }


        if theTransactionCharacterMinusTwo == periodCharacter {

            result = true
        }



        if theTransactionCharacterMinusOne == periodCharacter {

            result = true
        }

    }else {

        //if there is no period and it is a valid double it is good          
        result = true

    }

    return result


}
