Solution without rounding problem:
double number = 10.20;
var first2DecimalPlaces = (int)(((decimal)number % 1) * 100);
Console.Write("{0:00}", first2DecimalPlaces);
Outputs: 20
Note if we did not cast to decimal, it would output
19
.
Also:
318.40
outputs: 40
(instead of 39
)47.612345
outputs: 61
(instead of 612345
)3.01
outputs: 01
(instead of 1
)If you are working with financial numbers, for example if in this case you are trying to get the cents part of a transaction amount, always use the
decimal
data type.
Update:
The following will also work if processing it as a string (building on @SearchForKnowledge's answer).
10.2d.ToString("0.00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Split('.')[1]
You can then use Int32.Parse
to convert it to int.
