Get the decimal part from a double

Question

I want to receive the number after the decimal dot in the form of an integer. For example, only 05 from 1.05 or from 2.50 only 50 not 0.50

Answer 1

Solution without rounding problem:

double number = 10.20;
var first2DecimalPlaces = (int)(((decimal)number % 1) * 100);
Console.Write("{0:00}", first2DecimalPlaces);

Outputs: 20

Note if we did not cast to decimal, it would output 19.

Also:

• for 318.40 outputs: 40 (instead of 39)
• for 47.612345 outputs: 61 (instead of 612345)
• for 3.01 outputs: 01 (instead of 1)

If you are working with financial numbers, for example if in this case you are trying to get the cents part of a transaction amount, always use the decimal data type.

Update:

The following will also work if processing it as a string (building on @SearchForKnowledge's answer).

10.2d.ToString("0.00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Split('.')[1]

You can then use Int32.Parse to convert it to int.
