Best way to Format a Double value to 2 Decimal places
An alternative is to use String.format
:
double[] arr = { 23.59004,
35.7,
3.0,
9
};
for ( double dub : arr ) {
System.out.println( String.format( "%.2f", dub ) );
}
output:
23.59
35.70
3.00
9.00
You could also use System.out.format
(same method signature), or create a java.util.Formatter
which works in the same way.
No, there is no better way.
Actually you have an error in your pattern. What you want is:
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
Note the "00"
, meaning exactly two decimal places.
If you use "#.##"
(#
means "optional" digit), it will drop trailing zeroes - ie new DecimalFormat("#.##").format(3.0d);
prints just "3"
, not "3.00"
.
