Round function and trailing zero

Product Forums Katalon Studio

I have an issue when using the round function in that if the last value after the decimal place is 0 it gets dropped. Is there a way to force the return of a trailing 0?The code I have is effectively:

 (Float.valueOf('0.75') * (index -1) / index).round(2)

The ‘0.75’ is a string variable and I am doing the calculation in a For loop index : (2…4)

It works fine for index = 2 and 4, but for index = 3 the result I get is 0.5 but I need it to be 0.50 for a string comparison.

Can anyone give me a pointer?

Thanks

Hey Richard,

NumberFormat is the thing you need.

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance()
nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(2)
for(int index = 2; index < 5; index++) {
    println nf.format((Float.valueOf('0.75') * (index -1) / index).round(2))
}

Output:

0.380.500.56

I think you might want to use the DecimalFormat Class

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html

But since I’m not an expert on this stuff, see this article for a more complete treatise:

Thanks for the help - it is working perfectly now.

For anyone else, you need to add

import java.text.NumberFormat as NumberFormat
