Java Currency Number format
I'd recommend using the java.text package:
double money = 100.1;NumberFormat formatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();String moneyString = formatter.format(money);System.out.println(moneyString);
This has the added benefit of being locale specific.
But, if you must, truncate the String you get back if it's a whole dollar:
if (moneyString.endsWith(".00")) { int centsIndex = moneyString.lastIndexOf(".00"); if (centsIndex != -1) { moneyString = moneyString.substring(1, centsIndex); }}
double amount =200.0;Locale locale = new Locale("en", "US"); NumberFormat currencyFormatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);System.out.println(currencyFormatter.format(amount));
or
double amount =200.0;System.out.println(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en", "US")) .format(amount));
The best way to display currency
Output
$200.00
If you don't want to use sign use this method
double amount = 200;DecimalFormat twoPlaces = new DecimalFormat("0.00");System.out.println(twoPlaces.format(amount));
200.00
This also can be use (With the thousand separator )
double amount = 2000000; System.out.println(String.format("%,.2f", amount));
2,000,000.00
I doubt it. The problem is that 100 is never 100 if it's a float, it's normally 99.9999999999 or 100.0000001 or something like that.
If you do want to format it that way, you have to define an epsilon, that is, a maximum distance from an integer number, and use integer formatting if the difference is smaller, and a float otherwise.
Something like this would do the trick:
public String formatDecimal(float number) { float epsilon = 0.004f; // 4 tenths of a cent if (Math.abs(Math.round(number) - number) < epsilon) { return String.format("%10.0f", number); // sdb } else { return String.format("%10.2f", number); // dj_segfault }}
