🔗 Round float and format to string
If you’re rounding a floating point number in Go, it’s most likely you want to format it in a string. Use the built-in fmt.Sprintf() function.
heightInMeters := 1.76234
msg := fmt.Sprintf("Your height is: %.3f", heightInMeters)
// msg = "Your height is: 1.762"
🔗 Round float and store in a float
Use math.Floor, math.Round and math.Ceil from the standard math package.
heightInMeters := 1.76234
roundedDown := math.Floor(x*100)/100 // 1.0
roundedToNearest := math.Round(x*100)/100 // 2.0
roundedUp := math.Ceil(x*100)/100 // 2.0
🔗 Round float and store in an int
To store the result as an int, use the same method as before and then cast the result.
heightInMeters := 1.76234
roundedToNearest := int(math.Round(x*100)/100) // 2
