Problem with decimals in datafield

Seems this is a post for the main developer forum.

But, what are you using to format the values for display?

Look at using "format"

it's a function, but the forum seems to not like parens right now!

I am a bit frustrated; I couldn't get the code I used in the first post. Some JSON error of the forum software :mad:

What works is to use the round function, in order to get a 4.0000 instead of a 3.6583. However, it still has those trailing zero's.
I have tried this: Toybox.Lang.String.format but I don't exactly know how to coplete it (and writing what I have gives a JSON error.....)

Where can I find the developer-forum?

Yeah, the forum hates parentheses. Replace all square brackets with parentheses, below.

You have two choices:
- Format the data exactly how you want with format[]

e.g. var x = 3.6583;
x = Math.round[x];
System.println["x = " + x.Format["%d"]]; // should print "4"


- The easier way is to just convert the rounded Float to a Number. If you return that in compute() (for a simple data field), it will be printed with no decimals. For a complex datafield, you will be handling the output yourself, naturally.

e.g.

function compute[]
{
var x = 3.6583;
x = Math.round[x].toNumber[];
System.println["x = " + x]; // should print "4"
return x; // will be displayed as "4"
}


You could try the top-level CIQ forum. I think this forum is more for showing off your app when it's ready.

Thnx! The conversion from float to number worked fine!
