Mathematical solutions

[Glenn_Stiemens]

Does anyone know how I can round mathematical operations to a certain number of decimal places?

Problem is now solved 🙂

I know you said you solved it, but for those people who are newbs wondering the same thing, you would use the round() function.

Glenn, be sure to mark this thread resolved.

Also, [man]number_format/man would work.

Another little problem.

Is there any quick and easy way to strip the value after the decimal point and store it somewhere? I need to add up the total number of 'overs' bowled by a bowler. Each over consists of six balls and some of the existing records have for example 23.2 overs bowled for incomplete overs where the game finished before the end of that over.

So for the total number of overs bowled, I want to strip the .2 and add those up as individual balls before working out how many overs they come to, before adding them onto the complete overs, in this case 23 plus any other that bowler has bowled.

Hope that is clear enough for people to be able to help.

The "bit after the decimal" is just the original number minus the "bit before the decimal", isn't it?

$decimal_part = $number - floor($number);

:rolleyes:
