Like if I have a 8.225 I want 8.22 not 8.23. DO I have to use it as a string first then convert to float? Or is there a simpler way?

Could not print the decimal without rounding off.

You may take reference from below python function which shall convert a float to 2 decimal places without rounding off:

 def round2(x):
     return float(str(x)[:str(x).index('.')+3])

Alternatively, You can also convert to int after multiplying by 100 then divide again by 100 :

def round_to_2(x):
    return int(x * 100) / 100

Usually there wouldn't be any performance difference b/w two unless same operations is repeated millions of times in a loop.

yes . you can use a string for converting. Like this : num = '8.225' num = float(num) print(type(num)) print('Float Value =', num)

I think this code can solve your problem.
