I have a number, for example 1.128347132904321674821 that I would like to show as only two decimal places when output to screen (or written to a file). How does one do that?
x <- 1.128347132904321674821
EDIT:
The use of:
options(digits=2)
Has been suggested as a possible answer. Is there a way to specify this within a script for one-time use? When I add it to my script it doesn’t seem to do anything different and I’m not interested in a lot of re-typing to format each number (I’m automating a very large report).
