How can I use precision in Swift? - swift

heightInM = ((Double(heightInFeetText.text!)! * 30.48) + (Double(heightInInchText.text!)! * 2.54))/100
output = Double(weightInKgText.text!)! / (heightInM * heightInM)
bmiOutput.text = String(output)
How can I format double value with 2 decimal points?

Just use stringWithFormat API, add specify how many digits would you like to see.
Example:
let floatValue = 2.333123211
let output = String(format: "%0.2f", floatValue) // prints 2.33
In your case:
bmiOutput.text = String(format: "%0.2f", output)

How to obtain precision of two numbers after the decimal point but without rounding the double in SWIFT [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to truncate decimals to x places in Swift
(10 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am new with swift and I need help. I want to get first two digits after the decimal point, for example -
1456.456214 -> 1456.45
35629.940812 -> 35629.94
without rounding the double to next one.
Try the below code
let num1 : Double = 1456.456214
let num2 : Double = 35629.940812
let numberFormatter = NumberFormatter()
numberFormatter.minimumFractionDigits = 2
numberFormatter.maximumFractionDigits = 2
numberFormatter.roundingMode = .down
let str = numberFormatter.string(from: NSNumber(value: num1))
let str2 = numberFormatter.string(from: NSNumber(value: num2))
print(str)
print(str2)
Output
1456.45
35629.94
To keep it a double you can do
let result = Double(Int(value * 100)) / 100.0
or, as #vacawama pointed out, use floor instead
let result = floor(value * 100) / 100
extension Double {
func truncate(places : Int)-> Double
{
return Double(floor(pow(10.0, Double(places)) * self)/pow(10.0, Double(places)))
}
}
and use this like as;
let ex: Double = 35629.940812
print(ex.truncate(places: 2)) //35629.94
let ex1: Double = 1456.456214
print(ex1.truncate(places: 2)) //1456.45

Odd division result in swift [duplicate]

I'm trying to make a math app with different equations and formulas but I'm trying to circle sector but i just wanted to try to divide the input value by 360 but when I do that it only says 0 unless the value is over 360. I have tried using String, Double and Float with no luck I don't know what I'm doing is wrong but down here is the code. I'm thankful for help but I have been sitting a while and searched online for an answer with no result I might have been searching with the wrong search.
if graderna.text == ""{
}
else{
var myInt: Int? = Int(graderna.text!) // conversion of string to Int
var myInt2: Int? = Int(radien.text!)
let pi = 3.1415926
let lutning = 360
let result = (Double(myInt! / lutning) * Double(pi))
svar2.text = "\(result)"
}
Your code is performing integer division, taking the integer result and converting it to a double. Instead, you want to convert these individual integers to doubles and then do the division. So, instead of
let result = (Double(myInt! / lutning) * Double(pi))
You should
let result = Double(myInt!) / Double(lutning) * Double(pi)
Note, Double already has a .pi constant, so you can remove your pi constant, and simplify the above to:
let result = Double(myInt!) / Double(lutning) * .pi
Personally, I’d define myInt and lutning to be Double from the get go (and, while we’re at it, remove all of the forced unwrapping (with the !) of the optionals):
guard
let text = graderna.text,
let text2 = radien.text,
let value = Double(text),
let value2 = Double(text2)
else {
return
}
let lutning: Double = 360
let result = value / lutning * .pi
Or, you can use flatMap to safely unwrap those optional strings:
guard
let value = graderna.text.flatMap({ Double($0) }),
let value2 = radien.text.flatMap({ Double($0) })
else {
return
}
let lutning: Double = 360
let result = value / lutning * .pi
(By the way, if you’re converting between radians and degrees, it should be 2π/360, not π/360.)
You are dividing an Int by an Int.
Integer division rounds to the nearest integer towards zero. Therefore for example 359 / 360 is not a number close to 1, it is 0. 360 / 360 up to 719 / 360 equals 1. 720 / 360 to 1079 / 360 equals 2, and so on.
But your use of optionals is atrocious. I'd write
let myInt = Int(graderna.text!)
let myInt2 = Int(radien.text!)
if let realInt = myInt, realInt2 = myInt2 {
let pi = 3.1415926
let lutning = 360.0
let result = Double (realInt) * (pi / lutning)
svar2.text = "\(result)"
}
In the line let result = (Double(myInt! / lutning) * Double(pi)) you cast your type to double after dividing two integers so your result will always be zero. You have to make them doubles before division.
let result = (Double(myInt!) / Double(lutning)) * Double(pi))
If you want the value should be correct, then try as
let division = ((Float(V1) / Float(V2)) * Float(pi))

Convert decimal to hours:minutes:seconds

I am storing numbers in a MySQL DB as doubles so I can get min, max and sums.
I have a decimal number 1.66777777778 which equals 01:40:04 however I am wanting to be able to convert this decimal in to hour:minutes:seconds in Swift so I can display the value as 01:40:04 however I don't know how.
I have done some searching but most results are calculators without explanation.
I have this function to convert to decimal:
func timeToHour(hour: String, minute:String, second:String) -> Double
{
var hourSource = 0.00
if hour == ""
{
hourSource = 0.00
}
else
{
hourSource = Double(hour)!
}
let minuteSource = Double(minute)!
let secondSource = Double(second)!
let timeDecimal: Double = hourSource + (minuteSource / 60) + (secondSource / 3600)
return timeDecimal
}
but need one to go back the other way.
Thanks
Try:
func hourToString(hour:Double) -> String {
let hours = Int(floor(hour))
let mins = Int(floor(hour * 60) % 60)
let secs = Int(floor(hour * 3600) % 60)
return String(format:"%d:%02d:%02d", hours, mins, secs)
}
Basically break each component out and concatenate them all together.

Formatting decimal places with unknown number

I'm printing out a number whose value I don't know. In most cases the number is whole or has a trailing .5. In some cases the number ends in .25 or .75, and very rarely the number goes to the thousandths place. How do I specifically detect that last case? Right now my code detects a whole number (0 decimal places), exactly .5 (1 decimal), and then reverts to 2 decimal spots in all other scenarios, but I need to go to 3 when it calls for that.
class func getFormattedNumber(number: Float) -> NSString {
var formattedNumber = NSString()
// Use the absolute value so it works even if number is negative
if (abs(number % 2) == 0) || (abs(number % 2) == 1) { // Whole number, even or odd
formattedNumber = NSString(format: "%.0f", number)
}
else if (abs(number % 2) == 0.5) || (abs(number % 2) == 1.5) {
formattedNumber = NSString(format: "%.1f", number)
}
else {
formattedNumber = NSString(format: "%.2f", number)
}
return formattedNumber
}
A Float uses a binary (IEEE 754) representation and cannot represent
all decimal fractions precisely. For example,
let x : Float = 123.456
stores in x the bytes 42f6e979, which is approximately
123.45600128173828. So does x have 3 or 14 fractional digits?
You can use NSNumberFormatter if you specify a maximum number
of decimal digits that should be presented:
let fmt = NSNumberFormatter()
fmt.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX")
fmt.maximumFractionDigits = 3
fmt.minimumFractionDigits = 0
println(fmt.stringFromNumber(123)!) // 123
println(fmt.stringFromNumber(123.4)!) // 123.4
println(fmt.stringFromNumber(123.45)!) // 123.45
println(fmt.stringFromNumber(123.456)!) // 123.456
println(fmt.stringFromNumber(123.4567)!) // 123.457
Swift 3/4 update:
let fmt = NumberFormatter()
fmt.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
fmt.maximumFractionDigits = 3
fmt.minimumFractionDigits = 0
print(fmt.string(for: 123.456)!) // 123.456
You can use %g to suppress trailing zeros. Then I think you do not need to go through the business of determining the number of places. Eg -
var num1:Double = 5.5
var x = String(format: "%g", num1) // "5.5"
var num2:Double = 5.75
var x = String(format: "%g", num2) // "5.75"
Or this variation where the number of places is specified. Eg -
var num3:Double = 5.123456789
var x = String(format: "%.5g", num3) // "5.1235"
My 2 cents ;) Swift 3 ready
Rounds the floating number and strips the trailing zeros to the required minimum/maximum fraction digits.
extension Double {
func toString(minimumFractionDigits: Int = 0, maximumFractionDigits: Int = 2) -> String {
let formatter = NumberFormatter()
formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
formatter.minimumFractionDigits = minimumFractionDigits
formatter.maximumFractionDigits = maximumFractionDigits
return formatter.string(from: self as NSNumber)!
}
}
Usage:
Double(394.239).toString() // Output: 394.24
Double(394.239).toString(maximumFractionDigits: 1) // Output: 394.2
If you want to print a floating point number to 3 decimal places, you can use String(format: "%.3f"). This will round, so 0.10000001 becomes 0.100, 0.1009 becomes 0.101 etc.
But it sounds like you don’t want the trailing zeros, so you might want to trim them off. (is there a way to do this with format? edit: yes, g as #simons points out)
Finally, this really shouldn’t be a class function since it’s operating on primitive types. Better to either make it a free function, or perhaps extend Double/Float:
extension Double {
func toString(#decimalPlaces: Int)->String {
return String(format: "%.\(decimalPlaces)g", self)
}
}
let number = -0.3009
number.toString(decimalPlaces: 3) // -0.301

How to use println in Swift to format number

When logging-out a float in Objective-C you can do the following to limit your output to only 2 decimal places:
float avgTemp = 66.844322156
NSLog (#"average temp. = %.2f", avgTemp);
But how do you do this in Swift?
And how do you escape other characters in println in Swift?
Here's a regular Swift println statement:
println ("Avg. temp = \(avgTemp)")
So how do you limit decimal places?
Also, how do you escape double-quotes in println?
Here's the shortest solution I found thus far:
let avgTemp = 66.844322156
println(NSString(format:"%.2f", avgTemp))
Its like the swift version of NSString's stringWithFormat
Everything about the format of a number as a string can be adjusted using a NSNumberFormatter:
let nf = NSNumberFormatter()
nf.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterStyle.DecimalStyle
nf.maximumFractionDigits = 2
println(nf.stringFromNumber(0.33333)) // prints 0.33
You can escape quotes with a backslash
println("\"God is dead\" -Nietzsche")
Println() is deprecated.
var avgTemp = 66.844322156
print("average temp. = (round(avgTemp*100)/100)") // average temp. = 66.84
//or
print(NSString(format:"average temp. = %.2f", avgTemp))) // average temp. = 66.84
avgTemp = 66.846322156
print(String(format:"average temp. = %.2f", avgTemp)) // average temp. = 66.85
If you need to print floating point numbers often with a certain precision, you could extend Float and Double with convenience methods. For example, for 2 significant figure precision:
// get Float or Double with 2 significant figure precision
var numberFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
extension Float {
var sf2:String {
get {
numberFormatter.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterStyle.DecimalStyle
numberFormatter.maximumSignificantDigits = 2
return numberFormatter.stringFromNumber(self)!
}
}
}
extension Double {
var sf2:String {
get {
numberFormatter.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterStyle.DecimalStyle
numberFormatter.maximumSignificantDigits = 2
return numberFormatter.stringFromNumber(self)!
}
}
}
Then when you need to print things:
let x = 5.23325
print("The value of x is \(x.sf2)")
