> 1.234560000000001 instead of    1.23456. How can i get the original value?
> Moreover how to have a floating point number that has   only 3 numbers
> after decimal point even the number has got more digits after the decimal
> point?   I tried with "round" function but it is rounding the 3rd digit
> instead of keeping it as it is.
