I need to store money values in C# and I noticed when using
a float, the trailing zero was trimmed off automatically.
I don't want this, is there a native type that will *not*
do this so I can have my trailing zeros?
I want $0.10 not $0.1.....obviou sly that gives me serious
data issues.
Thanks!

Either way the actual numerical value is .1. You are talking display value
vs stored value. If you want to display a number formatted to two decimal
places, then you use the appropriate format string.

Hi,
Please note that you are confusing two different things, how the number is
store as a number and how it's displayed either as a number or as a
currency.
if you do double_var.ToSt ring() it will remove the trailing 0 , if you do
double_var.ToSt ring("C") you will get the currency representation of that
number.
Cheers,

Note, however, that decimals *do* keep their trailing zeroes (in stored
form) as of 1.1. Decimal tends to be better for financial purposes
anyway.

Hi,
I have an ASP file which is opened in MS Excel.
I have used the "formatNumber" function to set the number
of decimals for variables which are displayed.
however Excel cuts off any zeros at the end.
e.g 4.650 displays as 4.65
the number of decimals I want to display to varies across
the page, e.g. I cant say "display the whole with 3

I have a column defined as DECIMAL(10,6). I want to display it as a
string but I do not want the trailing zeros. I cannot seem to get CAST
or CONVERT or STR to exclude the zeros.
Examples:
45.340000 --> 45.34
27.700000 --> 27.7
55.000000 --> 55
Is there a function that will do this or do I need to write my own?

For example, they may record one reading as 63.45 and the next as 123.1

That's fine - those can be saved as floating point numbers (very

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
