float

[Jacobhaha]

hello is there any way to make a float only be 2 decimals (e.g x.xx) instead of x.xxxxx?

Yes you can make your output only have two decimal places, but in order to tell you how you need to show us what language you're using.

language? i'm using C++ if that's what you mean? it's when i do something like this:
0.50 - 0.15, i get more than two decimals which is annoying for the program i try to write.

Okay then since your using C++ you should investigate the functions prototyped in the <iomanip> header file. For example setw(), fixed, and showpoint().

okay thanks :)

A simple example would have sufficed here.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    float pi = 3.14159;
    std::cout << std::setprecision(3) << pi << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
