Message:

use NumberFormat

Posted by babuReddy on January 19, 2001 at 12:06 AM

java.text.NumberFormat nm = java.text.NumberFormat.getInstance(java.util.Locale.US);
nm.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);

you can use Minimumfraction option
nm.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
and also Grouping option ie
nm.setGroupingUsed(true);
nm.format(anyNumber);
this will display a number like
12,123,239.12

with out grouping

it will display
12123239.12
