Hi,

I have a question about converting from a string to a double in order to perform a rounding operation, and then converting back to a string for comparing with another decimal field. If I have a value like 1.123456789 and convert it to a double and round it to eight decimal places, I get 1.12345679, as expected. If I think convert it back to a string, I get 1.12346. If I use the format function, it�s rounded to six decimal places, 1.123457. Is there a way I can convert back to a string without any further rounding occurring? Here is the code I�m using, and the output I get. Thanks.

a = "1.123456789"
b = a.double().round(-8)
c = b.str()
d = format("%f",b)

emit a as "a", b as "b", c as "c", d as "d"
