Format float to 4 decimal places without string conversion

Given a float, I want to format it to display only the first 4 decimal places. (For example, given 12.345678 => I need 12.3456)

However, I'd like to do it in optimal complexity, so I'm aiming to avoid converting the float to string.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Use floor (numpy) to just display the first 4 decimals, however not rounding:

np.floor(12.345678*10000)/10000

Out:

12.3456

Use round() just to round down to 4 decimal places:

round(12.345678,4)

Out: 12.3457
