Scala Doubles, and Precision

Question

Is there a function that can truncate or round a Double? At one point in my code I would like a number like: 1.23456789 to be rounded to 1.23

Answer 1

You may use implicit classes:

import scala.math._

object ExtNumber extends App {
  implicit class ExtendedDouble(n: Double) {
    def rounded(x: Int) = {
      val w = pow(10, x)
      (n * w).toLong.toDouble / w
    }
  }

  // usage
  val a = 1.23456789
  println(a.rounded(2))
}
