hey im and im just learning this and i have a program that has to do with money and i have it so sometimes the cost of something comes out $9.352214 instead of $9.35 how do i round off the to the 2nd decimal so it really looks like money ....and also dose anyone know of a site that has a list of QB funtions and what they do

Print Using.

? ... lol im really really new so say the price came out to 22.1687 ...........so price = 22.1687

how do i convert it to 22.17
like show me an example ...plz

Example:[syntax="qbasic"]a# = 123.456789#
PRINT "a# is"; a#
PRINT "a# rounded to the nearest thousandth is ###.###"; a#[/syntax]

Example:

[syntax="qbasic"]'Format and print numeric data.
CLS ' Clear screen
PRINT USING "##.##"; .78
PRINT USING "###.##"; 987.654
PRINT USING "##.## "; 10.2, 5.3, 66.789, .234
PRINT USING "+##.## "; -68.95, 2.4, 55.6, -.9
PRINT USING "##.##- "; -68.95, 22.449, -7.01
PRINT USING "**#.# "; 12.39, -0.9, 765.1
PRINT USING "$$###.##"; 456.78
PRINT USING "**$##.##"; 2.34
PRINT USING "####,.##"; 1234.5
PRINT USING "##.##^^^^"; 234.56
PRINT USING ".####^^^^-"; -888888
PRINT USING "+.##^^^^"; 123
PRINT USING "+.##^^^^^"; 123
PRINT USING "_!##.##_!"; 12.34
PRINT USING "##.##"; 111.22
PRINT USING ".##"; .999[/syntax]

Homework?


Multiply by 100, round it, divide by 100.

thats gay y dose it put % infront of it .......the program im makeing has it so some one would input a money vaule then it gets added and subtraced and mutiplyed by stuff so by the time its done it could be $67.998888883 and all i want to do is have it round off the the hundth place so it looks like money im useing
so why dose it work and round off to the hundrth but after that put a % sine infront of it i dont want the % how do i get ride of %

by the way thanks for the help everyone

You don't put anything in front of it, you put a type after it.

! = single precission floating point
# = double precission floating point
% = signed integer, range -32768 to 32767
& = signed long integer, range -2147483648 to 2147483647


integers cannot hold decimals at all.

If you have:
0.123456

And multiply it by 100, you get:
12.3456

right.

If you store that number as an integer, you get 12. (No decimals.)

a% = 12.3456

Just means that the integer a, will hold the value 12, as it cannot hold any decimals, because it's an integer.

Now you have 12

But you want: 0.12.

Just do:
Print 12/100

Or:
Print a% / 100



And pay attention in class.




If you don't want the %, don't use it. Just use Print Using, which only shows a different value, but doesent really change anything on the variable.



One could even write a function that convertad a decimal containing number into string, and then only got X number of decimal places, and turned it back into a numerical value.






And yes, at this moment, I am gay. So what.

The percent sign zhahaman is referring to is the overflow character that QB prints when your number is too big for the field. To fix this, just add more #s:

PRINT USING "####.##"; money

Oh.. Sorry..

I missunderstood..


Dissregard my last post, though it's a good solution, it's prolly not what you need.
