Round
[edit | edit source]Sometimes the round() function does not perform its job. For instance, in this case round does not change anything to the value of the local toto.
. local toto = 9.950000000000001 . di "`toto'" 9.950000000000001 . local toto2 = round(`toto',.01) . di "`toto2'" 9.950000000000001
The temporary solution to this problem is to treat toto as a string and to use regexm to round it :
. local toto = 9.950000000000001 . di "`toto'" 9.950000000000001 . if regexm("`toto'","([0-9].[0-9][0-9])"){ . local toto = regexs(1) . di "`toto'" 9.95 . }
