Description: can 123.456 be displayed as 123456? Answer: Is there a way to display numbers with an implied decimal position?
contributed by Crulx So you basically want
my $bob = 123.456
print &my_format($bob) . "\n";
to return 123456
What happens on 12345.6789
Do you want
12345678
or
12345679 ?
Or do you want something else?
Assuming the last case is correct...
$bob = 123.4567;
print &print_fixed($bob). "\n";
exit 0;
sub print_fixed {
my $num = shift;
my $ipart = int($num);
my $dpart = sprintf("%.3f",$num);
my ($frac_part) = $dpart=~ /\.(\S*)/;
return $ipart . $frac_part;
}
does what you want. You can specify arbitary decimal
places by passing in a second arg and replacing
sprintf("%.3f",$num); with sprintf("%.$dec_places",$num);

contributed by ton Try this:
$foo = 123.456;
$foo =~ s/\.//g;
print $foo;
