Hello - R-experts, Is there any way with which we can specify the number after decimal point to take. Like I have a situation where the values are comming 0.160325923 but I only want 4 place to decimal say 0.1603. Is there any way for that. I am no expert in R- and this may sound simple to many.sorry Thanks for any help. With Regards Subhabrata

In addition to round() mentioned earlier, if you are merely looking to *display* your results differently, you may want to check out the digits option, e.g. in summary(): (This is the method signature for data.frame 's): summary(object, maxsum = 7, digits = max(3, getOption("digits")-3), ...)
