title: How to round a floating point number up to a certain decimal place?
body: <p>Suppose I have <code>8.8333333333333339</code>, and I want to convert it to <code>8.84</code>. How can I accomplish this in Python?</p>
  
  <p><code>round(8.8333333333333339, 2)</code> gives <code>8.83</code> and not <code>8.84</code>. I am new to Python or programming in general.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to print it as a string, and the result will be further used.
