Question

I'm still rather early on in the course, and I've been looking through the readings and can't seem to find it, so I'll ask here: How exactly do you specify a specific amount of digits after the decimal point to work with with a float? round() is similar to what I need, but round() rounds up, and what I need is something that would only round down.

Answer 1

Wow I spoke way too soon.

For anyone with this same question, I found a module that solves the problem handily:

Answer 2

This seems to work the same way for me- I can't figure out a problem until I type a question.
And the link will come in handy- thanks.
