I want my Double to display as an Int, if the value is an integer - otherwise as a Double.
Example;
var Value = Double()
.
Value = 25.0 / 10.0
Now I want Value
to display 2.5
(when inserted to label)
.
Value = 20.0 / 10.0
Now I want Value
to display 2
- and NOT 2.0
One classic way is to establish a value for epsilon which represents your tolerance for considering a value close enough to an Int
:
// How close is close enough to be considered an Int?
let kEPSILON = 0.0001
var val = 1.9999
var str: String
if abs(val - round(val)) < kEPSILON {
str = String(Int(round(val)))
} else {
str = String(val)
}
print(str) // "2"
One approach is to obtain the fractional part using %
operator, and check if it is zero:
let stringVal = (Value % 1 == 0)
? String(format: "%.0f", Value)
: String(Value)
I like dasblinkenlight's and vacawama's answers, but also want to contribute another one: Using NSNumberFormatter
let formatter = NSNumberFormatter()
formatter.numberStyle = .DecimalStyle
formatter.alwaysShowsDecimalSeparator = false
let string0 = formatter.stringFromNumber(25.0/10.0)!
let string1 = formatter.stringFromNumber(20.0/10.0)!
print(string0)
print(string1)
result:
2.5
2
The most important advantage: It is localized. On german devices it will show 2,5 instead of 2.5, just as it would be expected by a german speaking user.
To display numbers as text, use NSNumberFormatter()
. You can set its minimumFractionDigits
property to zero:
let fmt = NSNumberFormatter()
fmt.minimumIntegerDigits = 1
fmt.maximumFractionDigits = 4
fmt.minimumFractionDigits = 0
print(fmt.stringFromNumber(25.0 / 10.0)!) // 2,5
print(fmt.stringFromNumber(20.0 / 10.0)!) // 2
print(fmt.stringFromNumber(2.0 / 7.0)!) // 0,2857
If you want a decimal period, independent of the user's locale,
then add
fmt.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX")
Swift 3:
let fmt = NumberFormatter()
// Optional:
fmt.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
fmt.minimumIntegerDigits = 1
fmt.maximumFractionDigits = 4
fmt.minimumFractionDigits = 0
print(fmt.string(from: 25.0 / 10.0 as NSNumber)!) // 2,5
print(fmt.string(from: 20.0 / 10.0 as NSNumber)!) // 2
print(fmt.string(from: 2.0 / 7.0 as NSNumber)!) // 0,2857
Working on a calculator on Swift 4, I treated the number variables as String so I could display them on screen and converted them to Double for the calculations, then convert them back to String to display the result. When the result was an Int I didn't want the .0 to be displayed as well so I worked this out and it was pretty simple
if result.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0{
screenLabel.text = String(Int(result))
}
else{
screenLabel.text = String(result)
}
so result is the variable in Double format, if divided by 1 it gives us 0 (perfect division means its an Int), I convert it in Int.
