Arduino prints float/double variable with decimal places
How to print float/double variable with two or three decimal places to Serial Monitor on Arduino?
Answer
The below Arduino code print float and double number to Serial Monitor with one, two, three and four decimal places.
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
float fNumber = 0.123456;
double dNumber = 9.123456;
Serial.println(fNumber, 1); // print float number with one decimal place
Serial.println(fNumber, 2); // print float number with two decimal place
Serial.println(fNumber, 3); // print float number with three decimal place
Serial.println(fNumber, 4); // print float number with four decimal place
Serial.println(dNumber, 1); // print double number with one decimal place
Serial.println(dNumber, 2); // print double number with two decimal place
Serial.println(dNumber, 3); // print double number with three decimal place
Serial.println(dNumber, 4); // print double number with four decimal place
}
void loop() {
}
The result on Serial Monitor

Please note that the number will be rounded before being printed. As you can see on Serial Monitor, when printing 0.123456 with four decimal places, it is rounded to 0.1235
