easy way to format numbers to strings?

[BobLewiston]

In C#, I'd like to convert some numbers to strings in a standard format, but preferably in a simple way, such as if you were going to output them rather than store them in string variables, a la:

Console.WriteLine ("{0:F2}", num);

rather than use a bunch or string methods to make them all the same number of significant digits. Isn't there any way to do this?

The code you wrote is using a string method inside Console.WriteLine(). You'll need to call String.Format() if you want to restrict the number of digits. Otherwise, you can call "ToString()" on the number.
