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{
 
[Code] ....

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 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?

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];

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?

Program Cannot See DECIMAL FORMAT

May 12, 2015

I am using NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 to program Java code. I am a beginner in Java.

Instead of getting two decimal places after the point, I am getting three despite using the code format for two ("##.##"). Actually, this happens even if I remove the format code between the quotes. It is as if the program cannot see the format code. Why this happens ?

Here is the relevant program code:

private void convertButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.Action Event evt) {
double inputNumber = 0;
// sets the decimal format

Decimal Format Utility Of Java

Oct 13, 2014

I am working on a program where i calculate a fee using a method. I know i have to import the decimal format utility of java. "import java.text.DecimalFormat;" then i have to create an object for the decimal format. With "DecimalFormat f = new DecimalFormat("0.00");" What i am wondering how do i apply it to my system.out.println statement. I know i have to use for instance f.format(calculateFee()); Is that the right syntax for displaying the results because i generate a syntax error that way.

Decimal Format Errors - String Cannot Be Converted To Double

Jun 19, 2014

I am working on a project that just calculates simple interest based upon a principal and a percent interest rate written as .xxxx from user.

I need the Loan amount and the final interest calculation to show up as a currency with commas in appropriate areas, the Rate to be expressed as X.xxx% instead of .xxxx

I keep getting this error when I compile:

C:JavaInterestCalculator.java:46: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to double
principal = formatter.format(principal);
^
C:JavaInterestCalculator.java:49: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to double
rate = formatter.format(rate);
^
C:JavaInterestCalculator.java:52: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to double
totalInterest = formatter.format(totalInterest);
^
3 errors

Tool completed with exit code 1

And here is my code

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
// class declaration
public class InterestCalculator
{
// main method declaration

Using Substring Methods To Format Numbers Between 1,000 And 999,999

Mar 20, 2015

Write a program that reads number between 1,000 and 999,999 from the user and prints it without a comma separating the thousands. Read the input as string. Find the length of the string and use the substring to break it into two pieces. Do not include the comma. You can then concatenate using the + symbol to reassemble without the comma. For example if the number is 123,456. First would equal 123 and second would equal 456. noCommaNumber - 123456.

I do not think it is required to only allow numbers in that range in the code. My question is how to get the first half of the number before the comma in a string to make the last line work. What I think is not doing what I need is the line String first = numberIn.substring(numberIn.indexOf(",", 0)); This is just the last thing I tried.Getting the second half is done using IndexLastOf method in the substring class javaforumquest.jpg

Count Number Of Digits After Decimal Point?

Jul 21, 2014

Given a Numbers instance, whose fields are arrays of all the built-in Java numeric types (int, long, float, double, big-decimal, etc), write a method to sort all the numbers into a master list, and then print out the numbers where the number of digits past the decimal point is equal to the index of the number in the master list.

Is there a function in Java that will give me just the numbers after the decimal? I tried Decimalformat but couldn't get it to work. Here is what I have so far; however, I think I might be on the wrong track.

public class Numbers
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Byte bNum = new Byte((byte) -50);
Integer iNum = new Integer(168);
Long lNum = new Long(100000L);
Short sNum = new Short((short) 10000);
Float fNum = new Float(12.19f);
Double dNum = new Double(23.123);
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("3.14159265358979323846");

How To Write JAVA Program That Read Whole Number And Tell Decimal Place

Oct 10, 2014

Ex. If I type 5943, the program will say
mill = 5
hun = 9
ten = 4
uni = 3

get the picture I had to translate the decimal value names from a different language.

This is what I have tried...,

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;//Permite el uso de leer el teclado del usuario
public class DeterminarValorDecimal//Nombra el documento
{
public static void main(String [] args)//Podemos ver la clase
{

[Code].....

But what this does is I have to enter the single digits one by one. I want to be able to type the whole number. Is there a method that reads the length of the whole number and lets me classify each digit so I can do what I want to do?
