I am having trouble parsing "1,234.56" in Java, a similar question recommend using French locale in number formatting, but it is parsing the result incorrectly. Here is what I have:
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.FRANCE);
Number number = format.parse("1,234.56");
System.out.println(number.doubleValue()); // Should get 1234.56, got 1.234 instead
Number number = format.parse("1,234,567.89");
System.out.println(number.doubleValue()); // Should get 1234567.89
1,234.56
is not French notation. (Something like 1.234,56
is).
Change your locale to Locale.ENGLISH
, Locale.US
, or similar
French locale has the decimal point represented by a comma. You'll need to use the US locale:
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US);
or Locale.ENGLISH
based on the language:
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.ENGLISH);
You could use string replacement and replace ","
for ""
format.parse(("1,234.56").replace(",", ""));
Its messy, but you dont need to solve locale.
