Swift - How to remove a decimal from a float if the decimal is equal to 0?
IosSwiftFloating PointIos Problem Overview
I'm displaying a distance with one decimal, and I would like to remove this decimal in case it is equal to 0 (ex: 1200.0Km), how could I do that in swift? I'm displaying this number like this:
let distanceFloat: Float = (currentUser.distance! as NSString).floatValue
distanceLabel.text = String(format: "%.1f", distanceFloat) + "Km"

Swift 3/4:
var distanceFloat1: Float = 5.0
var distanceFloat2: Float = 5.540
var distanceFloat3: Float = 5.03
extension Float {
var clean: String {
return self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 ? String(format: "%.0f", self) : String(self)
}
}
print("Value \(distanceFloat1.clean)") // 5
print("Value \(distanceFloat2.clean)") // 5.54
print("Value \(distanceFloat3.clean)") // 5.03
Swift 2 (Original answer)
let distanceFloat: Float = (currentUser.distance! as NSString).floatValue
distanceLabel.text = String(format: distanceFloat == floor(distanceFloat) ? “%.0f" : "%.1f", distanceFloat) + "Km"
Or as an extension:
extension Float {
var clean: String {
return self % 1 == 0 ? String(format: "%.0f", self) : String(self)
}
}

Use NSNumberFormatter:
let formatter = NumberFormatter()
formatter.minimumFractionDigits = 0
formatter.maximumFractionDigits = 2
// Avoid not getting a zero on numbers lower than 1
// Eg: .5, .67, etc...
formatter.numberStyle = .decimal
let nums = [3.0, 5.1, 7.21, 9.311, 600.0, 0.5677, 0.6988]
for num in nums {
print(formatter.string(from: num as NSNumber) ?? "n/a")
}
Returns:
3
5.1
7.21
9.31
600
0.57
0.7

extension
is the powerful way to do it.
Extension:
Code for Swift 2 (not Swift 3 or newer):
extension Float {
var cleanValue: String {
return self % 1 == 0 ? String(format: "%.0f", self) : String(self)
}
}
Usage:
var sampleValue: Float = 3.234
print(sampleValue.cleanValue)
> 3.234
sampleValue = 3.0
print(sampleValue.cleanValue)
> 3
sampleValue = 3
print(sampleValue.cleanValue)
> 3
Sample Playground file is here.

Update of accepted answer for swift 3:
extension Float {
var cleanValue: String {
return self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 ? String(format: "%.0f", self) : String(self)
}
}
usage would just be:
let someValue: Float = 3.0
print(someValue.cleanValue) //prints 3

To format it to String, follow this pattern
let aFloat: Float = 1.123
let aString: String = String(format: "%.0f", aFloat) // "1"
let aString: String = String(format: "%.1f", aFloat) // "1.1"
let aString: String = String(format: "%.2f", aFloat) // "1.12"
let aString: String = String(format: "%.3f", aFloat) // "1.123"
To cast it to Int, follow this pattern
let aInt: Int = Int(aFloat) // "1"
When you use String(format:
initializer, Swift will automatically round the final digit as needed based on the following number.

You can use an extension as already mentioned, this solution is a little shorter though:
extension Float {
var shortValue: String {
return String(format: "%g", self)
}
}
Example usage:
var sample: Float = 3.234
print(sample.shortValue)
Solution 7 - Ios
Swift 5 for Double it's same as @Frankie's answer for float
var dec: Double = 1.0
dec.clean // 1
for the extension
extension Double {
var clean: String {
return self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 ? String(format: "%.0f", self) : String(self)
}
}
Solution 8 - Ios
In Swift 4 try this.
extension CGFloat{
var cleanValue: String{
//return String(format: 1 == floor(self) ? "%.0f" : "%.2f", self)
return self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 ? String(format: "%.0f", self) : String(format: "%.2f", self)//
}
}
//How to use - if you enter more then two-character after (.)point, it's automatically cropping the last character and only display two characters after the point.
let strValue = "32.12"
print(\(CGFloat(strValue).cleanValue)

Formatting with maximum fraction digits, without trailing zeros
This scenario is good when a custom output precision is desired. This solution seems roughly as fast as NumberFormatter + NSNumber solution from MirekE, but one benefit could be that we're avoiding NSObject here.
extension Double {
func string(maximumFractionDigits: Int = 2) -> String {
let s = String(format: "%.\(maximumFractionDigits)f", self)
var offset = -maximumFractionDigits - 1
for i in stride(from: 0, to: -maximumFractionDigits, by: -1) {
if s[s.index(s.endIndex, offsetBy: i - 1)] != "0" {
offset = i
break
}
}
return String(s[..<s.index(s.endIndex, offsetBy: offset)])
}
}
(works also with extension Float
, but not the macOS-only type Float80
)
Usage: myNumericValue.string(maximumFractionDigits: 2)
or myNumericValue.string()
Output for maximumFractionDigits: 2
:
>1.0 → "1"
>0.12 → "0.12"
>0.012 → "0.01"
>0.0012 → "0"
>0.00012 → "0"

NSNumberFormatter is your friend
let distanceFloat: Float = (currentUser.distance! as NSString).floatValue
let numberFormatter = NSNumberFormatter()
numberFormatter.positiveFormat = "###0.##"
let distance = numberFormatter.stringFromNumber(NSNumber(float: distanceFloat))!
distanceLabel.text = distance + " Km"

Simple :
Int(floor(myFloatValue))
Solution 12 - Ios
Swift 5.5 makes it easy
Just use the new formatted()
api with a default FloatingPointFormatStyle
:
let values: [Double] = [1.0, 4.5, 100.0, 7]
for value in values {
print(value.formatted(FloatingPointFormatStyle()))
}
// prints "1, 4.5, 100, 7"
Solution 13 - Ios
Here's the full code.
let numberA: Float = 123.456
let numberB: Float = 789.000
func displayNumber(number: Float) {
if number - Float(Int(number)) == 0 {
println("\(Int(number))")
} else {
println("\(number)")
}
}
displayNumber(numberA) // console output: 123.456
displayNumber(numberB) // console output: 789
Here's the most important line in-depth.
func displayNumber(number: Float) {
- Strips the float's decimal digits with
Int(number)
. - Returns the stripped number back to float to do an operation with
Float(Int(number))
. - Gets the decimal-digit value with
number - Float(Int(number))
- Checks the decimal-digit value is empty with
if number - Float(Int(number)) == 0
The contents within the if and else statements doesn't need explaining.

This might be helpful too.
extension Float {
func cleanValue() -> String {
let intValue = Int(self)
if self == 0 {return "0"}
if self / Float (intValue) == 1 { return "\(intValue)" }
return "\(self)"
}
}
Usage:
let number:Float = 45.23230000
number.cleanValue()

Maybe stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString
could help you :)
let aFloat: Float = 1.000
let aString: String = String(format: "%.1f", aFloat) // "1.0"
let wantedString: String = aString.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(".0", withString: "") // "1"
