Rounding decimals to a user-specified number of places

Question

I have a piece of code for my calculator.

And there is a stepper in the settings.

How can I make it so that when the user presses a stepper on 2 then the answer in the calculator would be rounded to 2 numbers after the decimal point?

Now there is a rounding up to 9 numbers after the decimal point.

displayResultLabel.text = String(format: "%.9f", newValue)

MainViewController.swift

var currentInput: Double {
    get {
        return Double (displayResultLabel.text!)!
    }
    set {
        let value = "\(newValue)"
        let ValueArray = (value.components(separatedBy:"."))
        if ValueArray[1] == "0" {
            displayResultLabel.text = "\(ValueArray[0])"
        } else {
            displayResultLabel.text = String(format: "%.9f", newValue)
              //displayResultLabel.text = "\(newValue)"
        }
        stillTyping = false
    }
}

SettingsViewController.swift

@IBOutlet weak var Stepr1: UIStepper!

@IBAction func stepperValueChanged(sender: UIStepper) {
    //let am = NSNumber(value: sender.value)
    let formatter = NumberFormatter()
    formatter.numberStyle = .currency
    UserDefaults.standard.set(sender.value, forKey: Savings)
    //stepperValueChanged(sender: Stepr1)
    MAXLabel.text = Int(sender.value).description
        let userDefaults = UserDefaults.standard
        userDefaults.setValue(MAXLabel.text, forKey: "data")
        userDefaults.synchronize()
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Save value
    if let Savings = UserDefaults.standard.value(forKey: Savings) {
        Stepr1.value = Savings as! Double
        stepperValueChanged(sender: Stepr1)
    }
}

Multiply it by 100, use floor or round and divide by 100 again — Leo Dabus, Nov 22 '17 at 18:03
if you just want the description rounded you can use NumberFormatter and set the desired roundingMode — Leo Dabus, Nov 22 '17 at 18:11
@LeoDabus How can I do this? I do not really understand in this — B2Fq, Nov 22 '17 at 18:13

You can use String Interpolation in the format String:

let places = Int(Stepr1.value)
displayResultLabel.text = String(format: "%.\(places)f", newValue)

Note: This will always use . as the decimal separator even if the user's locale specifies ,. Use NumberFormatter to take locale into account as shown by this answer.

Does this format correctly based on the user's locale? – rmaddy Nov 22 '17 at 18:34
@rmaddy, no not unless your locale uses `.` as the separator. LeoDabus' answer in the linked [duplicate] uses `NumberFormatter` which does take locale into account. – vacawama Nov 22 '17 at 18:52
