How to round off decimal number to 2 digits in iphone?

How can we round off decimal numbers to 2 digits in iphone ?

For example ,

  1. 5345 --> 53

  2. 570 -- > 57

  3. 89523 -- > 90

I tried to use nsformatter for this and here is the code i used ,

    NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle];
[formatter setMaximumIntegerDigits:2];
[formatter setRoundingMode: NSNumberFormatterRoundUp];

NSString *numberString = [formatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:570]];

    [formatter release];
    NSLog(@"%@",numberstring);

I keep on getting the value as 70 even after changing the rounding mode to different options. Please help me with this

Thanks, Vinod.

It seems there is no direct way to round off a whole number

But you can still do it. You have to do some extra work to convert the whole number to a fractional number and some trick to remove the "0." from the float value.

NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle];
[formatter setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4];
[formatter setRoundingMode:NSNumberFormatterRoundHalfUp];
[formatter setMaximumFractionDigits:2];

int n = 570;
float f = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"0.%d", n] floatValue];
NSNumber *number = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:f];
NSString *str = [formatter stringFromNumber:number];
[formatter setPositivePrefix:@"0."];
number = [formatter numberFromString:str];
[formatter release];

Use this simple code instead of formatter;

myFloat = roundf(100 * myFloat) / 100.0;

i hope it helps.

Or you can use this

float roundedValue = round(2.0f * number) / 2.0f;
NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init]; 
[formatter setMaximumFractionDigits:2]; 
[formatter setRoundingMode: NSNumberFormatterRoundDown];  
NSString *numberString = [formatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:roundedValue]]; 
[formatter release];

Deepak's answer is probably exactly what you need, but I'm just providing another option for the sake of options. I'm assuming you're using NSNumber values, so someNumber will be of that type in the example:

NSString *numberString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f", [someNumber floatValue]];
// this converts the NSNumber to a float, then formats the float in a string;
NSNumber *formattedNumber = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:[numberString floatValue]];
// this extracts the float from the string and puts it back as an NSNumber

Since you're looking to round up the decimal digits, you should actually provide a float for this and set the maximum fractional digits to 2. You're probably looking for this,

NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle];
[formatter setMaximumFractionDigits:2];
[formatter setRoundingMode: NSNumberFormatterRoundHalfUp];

NSString *numberString = [formatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:570.57018]];

[formatter release];
NSLog(@"%@",numberString);
