Limit decimal points in a float

Question

I am trying to limit my decimal places to 2 while printing the value of Pi.

Below is my expression after installing the match module in Anaconda Notebook

x=math.pi

print(float(x) (%2f))

Could you help fix the code/expression to print 3.14

@MattDMo the `%` operator for format-strings has been de-emphasised. https://stackoverflow.com/a/13452357/9946987 — sarema, Jan 07 '22 at 17:13
@sarema yes, I know. I was just blanking on the f-string format, and used the old style because it looked like the OP was trying to. — MattDMo, Jan 07 '22 at 17:15

You are looking for

x = math.pi
print(f"{x:.2f}")

This is called an f-string. It formats x as a string of a floating point number (f) with 2 decimal places (.2f).
