I need to round a float to two decimal places in Java

Question

Possible Duplicate    How to round a number to n decimal places in Java       I am having difficulties rounding a float to two decimal places   I have tried a few methods I have seen on here including simply just using Math round    but no matter what I do I keep getting unusual numbers   I have a list of floats that I am processing  the first in the list is displayed as 1 2975118E7   What is the E7   When I use Math round f   f is the float   I get the exact same number   I know I am doing something wrong  I just am not sure what   I just want the numbers to be in the format x xx   The first number should be 1 30  etc

If you re looking for currency formatting  which you didn t specify  but it seems that is what you re looking for  try the NumberFormat class  It s very simple   double d   2 3d  NumberFormat formatter   NumberFormat getCurrencyInstance    String output   formatter format d     Which will output  depending on locale     2 30  Also  if currency isn t required  just the exact two decimal places  you can use this instead   NumberFormat formatter   NumberFormat getNumberInstance    formatter setMinimumFractionDigits 2   formatter setMaximumFractionDigits 2   String output   formatter format d     Which will output 2 30

Try looking at the BigDecimal Class  It is the go to class for currency and support accurate rounding

You can make use of DecimalFormat to give you the style you wish   DecimalFormat df   new DecimalFormat  0 00E0    double number   1 2975118E7  System out println df format number        prints 1 30E7   Since it s in scientific notation  you won t be able to get the number any smaller than 107 without losing that many orders of magnitude of accuracy
