Fornatting Decimal in Pascal

[randomtaiwanese]

Are there any effective ways of formatting decimal numbers (double) in pascal?
Eg: 3.1245114411 -> 3.12 or 3.125, etc....

at first sorry for my english

i don't know if i understood you but if you wanna 3.1245114411 write like 3.12 or 3.125, you can use this.

x:=3.1245114411;
write(x:1:2); for 3.12
and
write(x:1:3); for 3.125

i hope i helped you.

Or you can try as *luna* wrote :
I changed little bit.
x:=3.1245114411;
write(x:0:2); for 3.12
and
write(x:0:3); for 3.125

Greetings!
Everytime I learn something new, I try to code it in different ways.
Try something like this:

Code:

Code: Select all

program Formato;

begin
  writeLn(pi:0:0);
  writeLn(pi:0:1);
  writeLn(pi:0:2);
  writeLn(pi:0:3);
  writeLn(pi:0:4);
  writeLn(pi:0:5);
  writeLn(pi:0:6);
  writeLn(pi:0:7);
  writeLn;
  writeLn(pi:0:2);
  writeLn(pi:1:2);
  writeLn(pi:2:2);
  writeLn(pi:3:2);
  writeLn(pi:4:2);
  writeLn(pi:5:2);
  writeLn(pi:6:2);
  writeLn(pi:7:2)
end.

Output:

Code: Select all

3
3.1
3.14
3.142
3.1416
3.14159
3.141593
3.1415927

3.14
3.14
3.14
3.14
3.14
 3.14
  3.14
   3.14

For integer, char and string types, you can use one number for the output format (variable:number, value:number, 'a':8, 54:4), that will "save" that number of spaces for the value you want to print. If the length is larger than the number you chose, it will ignore it (just like if you do a value:0).
For real type, you can use 2 numbers. The first one for the same porpouse, to save the space for it (including point and decimals), and a second number for the number of decimals you want to print after the point (variable:space:decimals, value:space:decimals).
