For games that you play for money or use money in the game, some of us my need to display the amount for two fixed decimal places. I could not find the specific function the the APK help documents. I wrote this short routine that seems to work.

Function MoneyStr(Money_In as Float)
Local NewStr as String
Local I as Integer
NewStr = STR(Money_In)
I = FindString(NewStr,".")
If I = 0
NewStr = NewStr + ".00"
Else
NewStr = NewStr + "00"
NewStr = Left(NewStr,I+3)
Endif
Endfunction NewStr

Just so you know, the str() function does that for you:

So print(str(4.8264762 , 2)) prints 4.82
