hi all,

ultra new to processing, apologies in advance if this has been asked/is basic.

im trying to read data out of a table that i have imported from a csv file.

i load the table, select a specific row i am interested in then reference the column within that row. Thats all fine, and i am able to extract the number, however the number as been rounded from 10.25 to 10.

does anyone know why this rounding occurs?

Many thanks

Table table;  
table = loadTable(“sample.csv”, “header”);  
TableRow row = table.getRow(3);  
float a =row.getInt(“price”);

println(nf(a, 2, 2));

println(a); //prints 10

Try using `float a = row.getFloat("price");`

Also read [https://processing.org/reference/Table\_getFloat\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/Table_getFloat_.html)

You are using getInt. You need `getFloat()` as mention by @KAZ. Keep the reference handy. If not clear, ask here in the forum.
