decimal-point

after briefly looking for a few hours I see multiple solutions to my problem but I am struggling to implement them and hopefully someone can help a noob. The issue is that I have a drop down box in an ASP/MySQL web application that displays a few prices incorrectly. e.g if the data is 32.00 the figure displayed will be returned as 32, similarly if it 6.50 it displays as 6.5 The data type or the price is set to Decimal(19,2) length in the db table, and the price shows correctly elsewhere except in this one instance of options displayed in a drop down box. I am pretty certain there is an easy

We have an interesting problem were we need to determine the decimal precision of a users input (textbox). Essentially we need to know the number of decimal places entered and then return a precision number, this is best illustrated with examples: 4500 entered will yield a result 1 4500.1 entered will yield a result 0.1 4500.00 entered will yield a result 0.01 4500.450 entered will yield a result 0.001 We are thinking to work with the string, finding the decimal separator and then calculating the result. Just wondering if there is an easier solution to this. Daniel Brückner I think you should

This question is similar to "dropping trailing ‘.0’ from floats" , but for Perl and with a maximum number of digits after the decimal. I'm looking for a way to convert numbers to string format, dropping any redundant '0', including not just right after the decimal. And still with a maximum number of digital, e.g. 3 The input data is floats. Desired output: 0 -> 0 0.1 -> 0.1 0.11 -> 0.11 0.111 -> 0.111 0.1111111 -> 0.111 You can also use Math::Round to do this: $ perl -MMath::Round=nearest -e 'print nearest(.001, 0.1), "\n"' 0.1 $ perl -MMath::Round=nearest -e 'print nearest(.001, 0.11111), "\n

I am working on a C# application. I want to change number decimal figure with comma(,) where i have dot(.) using regular expression. For example: Price= 100,00.56 As this international rule of representing numeric values but I Sweden they have different ways for numbers Like Price= 100.00,56 So i want to change dot(.) into comma(,) and comma(,) into dot(.) using RegEx. Could guide me about this. When formatting numbers, you should use the string format overload that takes a CultureInfo object. The culture name for swedish is "sv-SE", as can be seen here . decimal value = -16325.62m; Console

I'm working on an international project and have observed that, in Java, the choice of the decimal separator is based on the Locale's language, not its country. For example: DecimalFormat currencyFormatter = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("it","IT")); System.out.println(currencyFormatter.format(-123456.78)); currencyFormatter = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(new Locale("en","IT")); System.out.println(currencyFormatter.format(-123456.78)); produces the following output: -123.456,78 -123,456.78 I would have expected it to follow the country, since if I'm in the

UPDATE: ORACLE VERSION 10G I have a list of records in Oracle as follows, these are actually sections of various books The records are generated in the below format [main topic].[sub topic].[first level section] ..... .[last level section] Sections -------- 1 7.1 6.2 7.1 7.4 6.8.3 6.8.2 10 1.1 7.6 6.1 11 8.3 8.5 1.1.2 6.4 6.6 8.4 1.1.6 6.8.1 7.7.1 7.5 7.3 I want to order this like as follows 1 1.1 1.1.2 1.1.6 6.2 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 6.8.1 6.8.2 6.8.3 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7.1 7.7.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 10 But as the field is not a numeric datatype the sorting results in something like this 1 10 1.1 1.1.2 1
