Rounding a double value to x number of decimal places in swift

Question

Can anyone tell me how to round a double value to x number of decimal places in Swift?

I have:

var totalWorkTimeInHours = (totalWorkTime/60/60)
         


        

Answer 1

Either:

1. Using String(format:):

   • Typecast Double to String with %.3f format specifier and then back to Double

     Double(String(format: "%.3f", 10.123546789))!
     

   • Or extend Double to handle N-Decimal places:

     extension Double {
         func rounded(toDecimalPlaces n: Int) -> Double {
             return Double(String(format: "%.\(n)f", self))!
         }
     }
     

2. By calculation

   • multiply with 10^3, round it and then divide by 10^3...

     (1000 * 10.123546789).rounded()/1000
     

   • Or extend Double to handle N-Decimal places:

     extension Double {    
         func rounded(toDecimalPlaces n: Int) -> Double {
             let multiplier = pow(10, Double(n))
             return (multiplier * self).rounded()/multiplier
         }
     }
