RE: Number Format

Posted by Kishori Sharan on August 10, 2000 at 1:43 PM

Hi
Here is a small example for what you want. You can explore java.text package for more info.

Thanx
Kishori
////////// Example

import java.text.* ;
class NumFormat {
public static void main ( String[] args ) {

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance ( );
nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits ( 4 ) ;
nf.setGroupingUsed ( false ) ; //if you don't want comma
// as thousand separator
System.out.println ( nf.format ( 1 ) );
System.out.println ( nf.format ( 23 ) );
System.out.println ( nf.format ( 100 ) );
System.out.println ( nf.format ( 1278 ) );
}

}
