How to round double to 2 decimal places and remove trailing zeros?

I couldn't find a way to round double to 2 decimal places and remove trailing zeros in Dart. I found a way to round but it doesn't work if I try to truncate trailing zero.

Here is what I am trying to do:

double x = 5.0;
double y = 9.25843223423423;
double z = 10.10;

print(x); //Expected output --> 5
print(y); //Expected output --> 9.26
print(z); //Expected output --> 10.1

EDIT:

I found a way to solve the first 2 print statements above. I thought I should add it for whoever is searching it.

String getFormattedNumber( num ) {

  var result;
  if(num % 1 == 0) {
    result = num.toInt();
  } else {
    result = num.toStringAsFixed(2);
  }
return result.toString();

}

I think a better way is using the Flutter maths library.

// ROUND NUMBERS TO 2 DECIMAL PLACES
  double roundNumber(double value, int places) {
    num val = pow(10.0, places);
    return ((value * val).round().toDouble() / val);
  }

This function would help you do for any decimal place you want.

Then you can use it this way:

double num1 = roundNumber(12.334456789, 2);
print(num1);

should print: : 12.33

Rounding a floating point number according to a decimal representation doesn't make much sense since many decimal fractions (such as 0.3) can't be exactly represented by floating point numbers anyway. (This is inherent to all floating point numbers and is not specific to Dart.)

You can, however, try to make string representations of your number pretty. num.toStringAsFixed rounds to the specified number of fractional digits. From there, you can use a regular expression to remove trailing zeroes:

String prettify(double d) =>
    // toStringAsFixed guarantees the specified number of fractional
    // digits, so the regular expression is simpler than it would need to
    // be for more general cases.
    d.toStringAsFixed(2).replaceFirst(RegExp(r'\.?0*$'), '');

double x = 5.0;
double y = 9.25843223423423;
double z = 10.10;

print(prettify(x)); // Prints: 5
print(prettify(y)); // Prints: 9.26
print(prettify(z)); // Prints: 10.1

print(prettify(0)); // Prints: 0
print(prettify(1)); // Prints: 1
print(prettify(200); // Prints: 200

Here is sample code what you want.

  1. multiply by 10^(count of number after point)
    if count of number after point is 2
    9.25843223423423 -> 925.843223423423

  2. round 1)'s result
    925.843223423423 -> 926

  3. divide by 10^(count of number after point)
    926 -> 9.26

enter image description here


import 'dart:math';

void main() {
  double x = 0.99;
  double y = 9.25843223423423;
  double z = 10.10;

  print(x); //Expected output --> 5
  print(y); //Expected output --> 9.26
  print(z); //Expected output --> 10.1
  
  print(customRound(x, 2));
  print(customRound(y, 2));
  print(customRound(z, 2));
  
  for(var i = 0.01 ; i < 1 ; i += 0.01) {
    print(customRound(i, 2));
  }
}

dynamic customRound(number, place) {
  var valueForPlace = pow(10, place);
  return (number * valueForPlace).round() / valueForPlace;
}
