How to round to 2 decimals in Python
Float numbers are used to represent the real numbers with integers and decimal parts. Python represents such numbers with 64-bit precision giving it a range of almost 1.8 x 10^308.
The methods discussed here can round up float values to our desired decimal places. However, our examples will round them to 2 decimal places.

The round function is used traditionally to round up numbers to the specified decimal places. We can specify the total digits required after the decimal point in the function itself.
In the above code, we rounded a floating number to two decimal places. If we need to round the number to 2 decimal places and the number has less than 2 decimal places then the number itself gets returned.
We can format strings in Python using many methods to get the final result in our desired format. The format() function is one such way in which we can achieve this.
