Swift - How to remove a decimal from a float if the decimal is equal to 0?
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

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.
