Summary
Function: string Float2String( float num, integer places, integer rnd );Returns a string that contains the float num in a tidy text format, with optional rounding.
| • float | num | – | number to be formatted | |
| • integer | places | – | number of places to use during formatting | |
| • integer | rnd | – | boolean, enables/disables rounding |
Negative floats are fine (i.e. negative signs will be preserved.)
If you say 1 place, you will get 7.0 instead of 7.0000000
If you say 3 places, you get 7.14 instead of 7.1400000
7.1373699 will come out as 7.13 or 7.14, depending on whether you specify rounding
rnd (rounding) should be set to TRUE for Rounding, FALSE for no rounded
Example:
<lsl>
string myFormattedFloat = Float2String(-7.1373699, 3, TRUE);
//rounded
//returns "-7.14"
string myFormattedFloat = Float2String(-7.1373699, 3, FALSE);
//not rounded
//returns "-7.13"
</lsl>
Specification
<lsl>string Float2String ( float num, integer places, integer rnd) { //allows string output of a float in a tidy text format //rnd (rounding) should be set to TRUE for rounding, FALSE for no rounding
if (rnd) {
float f = llPow( 10.0, places );
integer i = llRound(llFabs(num) * f);
string s = "00000" + (string)i; // number of 0s is (value of max places - 1 )
if(num < 0.0)
return "-" + (string)( (integer)(i / f) ) + "." + llGetSubString( s, -places, -1);
return (string)( (integer)(i / f) ) + "." + llGetSubString( s, -places, -1);
}
if (!places)
return (string)((integer)num );
if ( (places = (places - 7 - (places < 1) ) ) & 0x80000000)
return llGetSubString((string)num, 0, places);
return (string)num;
}</lsl>
