A quick check is to use the Math floor method   I created a method to check a double for two or less decimal places below   public boolean checkTwoDecimalPlaces double valueToCheck            Get two decimal value of input valueToCheck      double twoDecimalValue   Math floor valueToCheck   100    100          Return true if the twoDecimalValue is the same as valueToCheck else return false     return twoDecimalValue    valueToCheck

Note first that a double is a binary fraction and does not really have decimal places   If you need decimal places  use a BigDecimal  which has a setScale   method for truncation  or use DecimalFormat to get a String

Formating as a string and converting back to double i think will give you the result you want   The double value will not be round    floor   or ceil     A quick fix for it could be    String sValue    String  String format    2f   oldValue    Double newValue   Double parseDouble sValue     You can use the sValue for display purposes or the newValue for calculation

Maybe Math floor value   100    100  Beware that the values like 3 54 may be not exactly represented with a double

Bit Old Forum  None of the above answer worked for both positive and negative values   I mean for the calculation and just to do truncate without Rounding   From the How to round a number to n decimal places in Java link   private static BigDecimal truncateDecimal double x int numberofDecimals        if   x  gt  0            return new BigDecimal String valueOf x   setScale numberofDecimals  BigDecimal ROUND FLOOR         else           return new BigDecimal String valueOf x   setScale numberofDecimals  BigDecimal ROUND CEILING             This method worked fine for me    System out println truncateDecimal 0  2        System out println truncateDecimal 9 62  2        System out println truncateDecimal 9 621  2        System out println truncateDecimal 9 629  2        System out println truncateDecimal 9 625  2        System out println truncateDecimal 9 999  2        System out println truncateDecimal -9 999  2        System out println truncateDecimal -9 0  2      Results    0 00 9 62 9 62 9 62 9 62 9 99 -9 99 -9 00

You can use NumberFormat Class object to accomplish the task      Creating number format object to set 2 places after decimal point NumberFormat nf   NumberFormat getInstance    nf setMaximumFractionDigits 2               nf setGroupingUsed false    System out println nf format precision      Assuming precision is a double type variable

if double v is 3 545555555 String string v  String valueOf double v   int pointer pos   average indexOf        we find the position of     string v substring 0  pointer pos 2      in this way we get the double with only 2 decimal in string form double v   Double valueOf string v    well this is the final result   well this might be a little awkward  but i think it can solve your problem

If you want that for display purposes  use java text DecimalFormat    new DecimalFormat         format dblVar     If you need it for calculations  use java lang Math    Math floor value   100    100

This worked for me   double input   104 8695412    For example  long roundedInt   Math round input   100   double result    double  roundedInt 100     result    104 87   I personally like this version because it actually performs the rounding numerically  rather than by converting it to a String  or similar  and then formatting it

If  for whatever reason  you don t want to use a BigDecimal you can cast your double to an int to truncate it    If you want to truncate to the Ones place    simply cast to int   To the Tenths place    multiply by ten cast to int cast back to double and divide by ten    Hundreths place   multiply and divide by 100 etc    Example   static double truncateTo  double unroundedNumber  int decimalPlaces        int truncatedNumberInt    int   unroundedNumber   Math pow  10  decimalPlaces          double truncatedNumber    double   truncatedNumberInt   Math pow  10  decimalPlaces          return truncatedNumber      In this example  decimalPlaces would be the number of places PAST the ones place you wish to go  so 1 would round to the tenths place  2 to the hundredths  and so on  0 rounds to the ones place  and negative one to the tens  etc

Here is the method I use   double a 3 545555555     just assigning your decimal to a variable a a 100                  this sets a to 354 555555 a Math floor a           this sets a to 354 a a 100                  this sets a to 3 54 and thus removing all your 5 s   This can also be done   a Math floor a 100    100
