What would be the coding to specify floats to be to 2 decimal places??

Dean,
float occupies 4 bytes and it's storage depends on platform,
you can only specify conversion of float to string with desirable format.

Yeah, but I tried to use setprecision and I tried to use printf but neither
works properly. Do you know the actual coding as to how to specify just
2 decimal places?

Try

float ft;
// assign ft here;
char buffer[32];
sprintf(buffer, "%#10.2f", ft);
