Formatting the decimal place without converting the class numeric to character

I have a number, say 0.4 which is of class numeric. I wish to make it 2 decimal places without changing the class numeric. Is it possible to do this?

I'm not totally sure what you mean, but you can control the number of digits that print with sprintf.

sprintf("%.2f",0.4)
# [1] "0.40"

Programmatically, 0.4 and 0.40 are identical.

all.equal(0.4,0.40)
# [1] TRUE
