Formatting User Answer To Two Decimal Places

Nov 20, 2014

I am writing a simple learning program that does basic math. Everything is working as needed except for when it comes to division. I need to know if there is a way to format the users input to two decimal places and that when the program checks the users answer against the division, it gives it a yay or nay. Right now, it wants the answer out to 12 decimal places.

So for 5/3

I would like it to accept the answer 1.67

not 1.666666666667

Is there a way to do this?

Formatting Answers To 2 Decimal Places

Sep 8, 2014

I've been scanning forums for answers to this problem, but most deal with simple programming that you might find in a classroom (i.e. "System.out.printf") which will not work in the GUI I'm attempting to complete. Here's the tale of the tape:

The GUI is a price calculator I'm developing for my company that takes input from drop-down menus and several Jtextfields and calculates the answer based on the values contained within each. It's completely done (and functional), so I'd rather not change too much if at all possible. Because I'm dealing with decimal values then I'm getting 9 decimal places in the output JLabel, though. In order to display the answer, I'm using a series of "totalPrice.setText(..." declarations.

Because there is a fair amount of text and the values in the calculation are constantly changing, is there a way to 'simply' format the output JLabel to display only 2 decimals? Or is there an alternative solution that would work--say with a JTextfield instead--without having to completely re-code the calculator?

Formatting Doubles To Two Decimal Places Within Return Statement

Jan 25, 2015

I'm attempting to format my doubles to two decimal places within my return statement. I have tried to use DecimalFormat but it gives me an error because my method needs to return a double and that results in a string being returned. I have also tried using the *100.00/100.00 method and that doesn't work when the number already ends in 0.

If I pass -150.00 it gives me -150.0 when I need two decimal places.

How can I go about doing this?

Not Getting Decimal For Surely Decimal Answer?

Jan 1, 2015

I'm using eclipse. I'm going to get straight to the point and give all the info I can, if the values in the first code box are used, shouldn't these values be left after all in the second box is done:

remainder=23, arr[0]=100, div=23/10=2.3, whole=2, and decimal=3?

When I use this code, div comes out to be just (2.0).

Java Code:

int leng=10;
arr[0]=123; //int
arr[1]=100; //int mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); Java Code: if (arr[0]!=arr[1]){
int remainder=arr[0]-arr[1];
arr[0]=arr[0]-remainder;
double div=remainder/leng; //double div=Double.valueOf(remainder/leng);
int whole=(int) Math.floor(div);
int decimal=(int) ((div-whole)*leng); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I'm not sure were I'm going wrong in how div is being calculated, but I ultimately need div to be 2.3.

I've also used the second option commented out which still gives (2.0).

Printing 2 Decimal Places - Printf Not Working?

Mar 22, 2014

I need to print to 2 decimal places and I'm trying to use the printf method, but for some reason I keep getting an error. I've looked through my code, but unless I'm missing a small detail, it looks okay to me.

float sum = 0;
float avg = 0;
double[] rain = {0, 1.9, 1.5, 1.2, 1.1, 0.5, 0.03, 1.0};
 
//Calculate sum of rain.
for (int i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
sum += rain[i];

How To Format Methods To Display Number With 1-2 Decimal Places

May 8, 2014

I am working with a program I wrote for class. I got it to compile and do what I want, But I was wondering how I can format my methods to to display a decimal with 1-2 decimal places. Would I create a method in my NumberAnalysis class to do it for me? Or would I declare an instance of the DecimalFormat class in my main method?

import java.util.Scanner; //Needed for Scanner Class
import java.io.*; //Need for File and IOException
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Ex8_11 { 
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
{
DecimalFormat decformatter = new DecimalFormat("#0.00");
 
[Code] .....

This is my output:

Lowest Number: 1.09
Highest Number: 82.76
Total Number: 367.89000000000004
Total Average Number: 30.657500000000002

Think I just solved the answer to my own question, I did it by declaring double variables in my main method and called the methods and instantiated the variables into the methods... Is there a better way to do this?

package lesson4.skowronek;
 import java.util.Scanner; //Needed for Scanner Class
import java.io.*; //Need for File and IOException
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Ex8_11 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{

Fraction Calculator Prints Correct Answer But Not In Decimal

public class FracCalc {
public static void main(String[] args) {

int d1 = 0; //d1 = first denominator user have to enter
int n2 = 0; //n2 = second numerator user have to enter
int d2 = 0; //d2 = second denominator user have to enter
int numeratorAnswer = 0; //calculates numerator of an equation
int denominatorAnswer = 0; //calculates denominator of an equation
 
[code]...

I mean its not that important but i figure it will be better if I could print out the answer both in fraction format and decimal format. while my answer prints in fraction just fine how do i show it in decimal?

System.out.println("");
 
System.out.print("And ");
System.out.print("answer in Decimal is: ");
 
decimalAnswer = ((double)numeratorAnswer/denominatorAnswer);
System.out.println((float)decimalAnswer);
