Rounding numbers in MT4 via NormalizeDouble - page 5

Dmitry Fedoseev:

Here is your code:

Put 3 instead of 2 and it's 0.036

It worked! Thank you. I normalise to 3 and then trim the extra digits after the decimal point.

Can you tell me, is there a standard function to trim H digits after the comma? Like StringSubStr only if it is a fractional number.

If you want to trim digits when displaying them on the screen (log), there is DoubleToString() for that.

No. DoubleToString works just like NormalizeDouble().

There is no such function, as it is not needed. Your calculator is wrong.

I use one, but it's 'non-standard':

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Double Crop function                                             |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
double DoubleCrop(double value,int crop)
  {
   string ValueToString="";
   ValueToString=DoubleToString(value,crop);
   return StringToDouble(ValueToString);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

What's the genius move?

string ValueToString="";
   ValueToString=DoubleToString(value,crop);

Just wrote, DoubleToString doesn't trim, it works the same way as NormalizeDouble - it rounds. No... we're on a bulldozer.

A glitch is detected:

   Alert(
         DoubleToStr(1.15,1)+" "+
         DoubleToStr(1.25,1)+" "+
         DoubleToStr(1.35,1)+" "+
         DoubleToStr(1.45,1)
         );

Result: 1.1 1.3 1.4 1.5

With 1.15 there was a discard and with steel numbers there was a rounding.

Yes, I must admit using it without checking the result :(((

Until the developers remove

it

StringLen

The number of characters in the string, not including the trailing zero.

there is nothing you can do about the truncation.
