how would i round a decimal like .3333333333e103 to the 7th digit place.
like .66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666- to .6666667

Here is some pseudocode:

Multiply the decimal value by 10eN where N is the number of digit places.
Add .5 * SIGN to the value, where SIGN is the sign (-1 or 1) of the value.
Truncate the decimal.
Divide the value by 10eN, where N is the number of digit places.

I used pseudocode because I didn't want to spoil your fun.

I hope this helps! ^_^

If you are using floating point variables to store the numbers then rounding may not help you: there might not be enough precision, depending upon the type you're using and the decimal place you want to round to, to hold the rounded value....
