format shortg
y = 3.3333333333333333333333333333333333333
y_out = round(y,2)
For the specific case of 2 decimal places (does not work for any other number)
format bank
10/3
ans =
3.33

Thanks. I'm teaching a financial computing course and was looking for banker's output :-)
Be careful about rounding vs truncation. I do not know what is standard for banking purposes.
in the same scenario, could you please tell how to obtain 03.33??
x = 10/3;
sprintf('%05.2f', x)
ans = '03.33'
compose("%05.2f", x)
ans = "03.33"
num2str(x, '%05.2f')
ans = '03.33'
