Rounding to two decimal places in Python 2.7?

Question

Using Python 2.7 how do I round my numbers to two decimal places rather than the 10 or so it gives?

print \"financial return of outcome 1 =\",\"$\"+str(out1)         


        

Answer 1

You can use str.format(), too:

>>> print "financial return of outcome 1 = {:.2f}".format(1.23456)
financial return of outcome 1 = 1.23
