Hi, sorry for this stupid question, but i can not seem to find out how to do
it. Suppose i define:
myfloat : float := 1234.5678;
screen_display("value = " & float'image(myfloat));
... where screen_display() prints out the content passed to it, to standard
output.
However I do not know how to only print only the first 2 (for example)
decimal places of myfloat.
The above will print "value = 1234.5678". However I want "value = 1234.56".
I know there is a simple solution to this, but i cant find it. Using Barnes
to learn from.
Any help most welcome :)
Thanks,
David
