macOS How to edit number precision in Applescript??

crd26 said:

I have been learning Applescript recently and I can't figure out how to format the precision of a number. I have looked through forums and have looked through a couple of books as well as the Applescript Language Guide.

The "round" command comes close but isn't exactly what I need.

What I need in the end it to round numbers to the nearest two decimal places.

example : 18.094898203 to 18.09

Thanks for any help!

(* format is roundThis(inDec, precision) *)

roundThis(75.5436, 1) --this will round to 75.5

on roundThis(n, numDecimals)
   set x to 10 ^ numDecimals
   (((n * x) + 0.5) div 1) / x
end roundThis
