Some decimal math.

int sqrft = 1335;
decimal pricePerSqr = 18.33m;
decimal pricePerYear = Math.Round(pric ePerSqr * sqrft, 2,
MidpointRoundin g.AwayFromZero) ;
decimal pricePerMonth = Math.Round(pric ePerYear / 12, 2,
MidpointRoundin g.AwayFromZero) ;

Console.WriteLi ne("/Sqr:"+pricePerS qr.ToString());
Console.WriteLi ne("/Year:"+pricePer Year.ToString() );
Console.WriteLi ne("/Mth:"+pricePerM onth.ToString() );

// Find PricePerSqr given PerMonth.
pricePerMonth = 2039.21m;
pricePerYear = pricePerMonth * 12;
pricePerSqr = Math.Round(pric ePerYear / sqrft, 2,
MidpointRoundin g.AwayFromZero) ;

Console.WriteLi ne("-----------");
Console.WriteLi ne("/Sqr:"+pricePerS qr.ToString());
Console.WriteLi ne("/Year:"+pricePer Year.ToString() );
Console.WriteLi ne("/Mth:"+pricePerM onth.ToString() );

/Sqr:18.33
/Year:24470.55
/Mth:2039.21
-----------
/Sqr:18.33
/Year:24470.52
/Mth:2039.21

Should I be doing something different to make both ways add up the same.
Notice the Year price is slightly different when backing in from
pricePerMonth. TIA

Either increase the decimal places of pricePerMonth or ALWAYS calculate
from the lowest unit ie, always start at pricePerMonth (or
perweek/perday/perhour etc..)

Consider a rounding up function: public static decimal RoundUp(decimal val, decimal round) { return ((decimal)Math.Ceiling((double)(val/round)))*round; } Math.Ceiling (and Math.Floor for RoundDown) only take double,s so we need to cast twice. Is there a better way?

I have a database field that is the product of a multiply in a sql statement and it sometimes has 5 or more decimal places. I want to truncate beyond the 2nd decimal place(###.##). I figured a Ctype to a decimal value would do that but the four decimal places remain. I found a truncate function but it only truncates to whole numbers. how can I do the truncation? Thanks, G

Dear all, In my vb.net program, I have to round a decimal number to two decimal place. For example, for the expression "Decimal.Round(31* 1.555, 2)", I should get the result "48.21". However, the program finally give "48.20". Is there any mistake for my expression? Please help. Thanks a lot, Ray

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a function that will return the lowest integer that is greater than or equal to a decimal number. eg. 3.1(decimal) returns 4(integer) 3.9(decimal) returns 4(integer) 4.0(decimal) returns 4(integer)

Hi, Why does Math.Sqrt() only accept a double as a parameter? I would think it would be just as happy with a decimal (or int, or float, or ....). I can easily convert back and forth, but I am interested in what is going on behind the scenes and if there is some aspect of decimals that keep them from being used in this calculation. Thanks!
