Changing floating number precision in SKILL

How can I change the precision of a floating number. For example I'm trying to convert 23.3455 to 23.34 & this's what I'm doing:

x=23.3255

y=printf("%5.2f" x)

'y' is now a symbol. HOw can this be converted to a floating number?

Thanks,

Adil

Personally I never like using evalstring for things like this.

I'd probably do:

y=round(x*100)/100.0

If you really want to use the sprintf approach, you could use atof() instead of evalstring.
