HOw to round decimal points.

-----------------------------------

Hey guys.
This is such a noob question but it is one of those things I have never bothered learning because you dont think much about it.
HOw do you round dcecimals?
I have this proceduare that when it calculates the answer it NORMALLY comes out like a HUGE decimal.
If you could let me know how to round it to one decimal point,
that would be great!

Thanks a lot,
-Dave

rounding to closest integer is done with round(). To save that one (or any number really) decimal point beyond the integer "cutoff", think powers of 10

DaveAngus has an excellent point there. Saying random stuff without reading the thread is a quick way to get banned.
