Round off numbers (I need help!!)

whizz · Post by **whizz** » March 30th, 2005, 1:43 pm

I think this is a really stupid question

, but: is there a way to round off numers?

For example:
I get (from an rss feed) 5.24512435
I want it to show 5.25

Anyone knows how to do that?

There no supporting function for this...

But its a good idea for plugin request!

Write a little dll somethig like $dll(mydll.dll,1,<value>,<sigfigs>).
to do this have a string input as param1, and a integer (unsigned to be pedantic) for param 2. then do this:

live:string;
live := value;

If live[sigfigs+1] >= 5 then
live[sigfigs] := live[sigfigs] +1;

setlength(live,sigfigs+1)

result := Pchar(live);

this is only basic code, i thought of 2 bugs(deecimal point probs) whilst writing it here, but you get the gyst!
sorry if you dont know delphi that this is a little irrelevant!
