| Jul 9, 2021 at 23:10 | comment | added | CodeReview123123 | @Reinderien Hi, thank you for the question. I am creating a price checker and some of the coins/tokens are fractions of pennies. Some could be: 0.000000000012313149 and i am only interested in rounding to the nearest non zero digit: 0.00000000001. the reason i have abs() is because some i am also checking the price change within the last 24 hours and the API I use sends back scientific notation (which is why i have {number.99f}and negative numbers (-0.00000000123 for example) abs(). The abs() is not required in this method. I hope this helps and explains things a little bit more | |

Why would you do this in the first place? This is not only a rounding function, since there is an abs in the mix.
