How can I put only value after decimal

Question

I have got output and I want to use only three values after decimal. How can i do that in Python?

Answer 1

Use the following:

"%.3f" % x

it converts your number to a string with three decimal places.

Answer 2

round(number, 3)

Answer 3

In Python 2.6 or newer you should use the str.format method:

>>> x = 15.23432
>>> '{0:.3f}'.format(x)
'15.234'
