char text[256];

float point = 50.30;

Format( text , sizeof( text ) , "%.2f" , point );

Output: 50.29

why is it wrong?

Rounding error... You probably can "hide" that by adding 0.000001 to float number

You can't exactly represent 5.3 in a 32-bit float. The closest choice, when truncated to two decimal places, is 50.29.

Useful for seeing how floats are represented internally and why you can't have exactly 50.30
