I you really want to "get rid" of extra numbers you can convert to a string, find the decimal position then cut off anything past 2 places after the decimal then convert back to real.

An easier method would be

num:= round( num*100)/100

Or perhaps you mean something like this...

Turing:

var a := 12554.562342534
put a : 6 : 2


The first number is the width of the string, the second number is how many decimals you want.
