# How to limit floats to X decimal points in Python?

There are a few different ways to limit the number of decimal places for a float in Python. Here are three options:

1. Use the `round()` function:

```python
x = 3.14159265
rounded = round(x, 2)  # 3.14
```

2. Use string formatting:

```python
x = 3.14159265
rounded = "%.2f" % x  # 3.14
```

3. Use the `format()` function:

```python
x = 3.14159265
rounded = "{:.2f}".format(x)  # 3.14
```

In all three cases, the value of `rounded` will be the float `3.14`, which is `x` rounded to two decimal places.
