Subject: Float Question

This is probably the stupidest question ive ever had to ask on any board 
so im sorry lol. :-p

Yes i've googled and found a solution but i cant believe that the 
solution presented is correct or that the great minds behind ruby did 
not include something like this.

I want to get a float 2.3333 to display as 2.33 or 2.333 etc.

Now, i read the manual, Numerical, Float, Math sections but could not 
find a way to do this.  Yes you can use string manipulation but that 
just defeats the purpose of having something like this built into the 
Float stack.

ex.  someFloat = Float.new(2)  ==> 2.12
      someFloat = Float.new(5)  =>  2.12345

Any thoughts?
