I have a scenario here where I need to perform a few calculations and I need the exact float number not the rounded float number. For e.g this is the float I want 51.8385922330097
, which rounds of to 51.83859223301
. So any idea how to prevent this auto round of in PHP?
My Answer:
In PHP, you can prevent automatic rounding of float numbers by using the `number_format()` function with the appropriate precision parameter. Here's an example:
php
$number = 51.8385922330097;
$precision = 15; // Set the precision to the maximum number of decimal places you want to keep
$formatted_number = number_format($number, $precision, '.', '');
echo $formatted_number; // Output: 51.8385922330097
By setting the precision parameter to a high enough value, you can ensure that the float number is not automatically rounded.
