the code:
Float f = Float.parseFloat("1.80");
System.out.println(f);
prints "1.8"
on screen.
I need to keep the 0 in the float value (Float f) for some validation. How do I do this?

You are confusing a number value and its formatting. It is not possible to actually store 1.80
as a float, however it is possible to display the number as a formatted String
which forces two decimal places. Your options are:
Keep the original String that the user entered, if the number of decimal places they gave
matters
Store the number as a float
, but when displaying the number force it to display with two decimal places like this:
System.out.printf("%.2f\n", f);
That's simply a formatting issue:
System.out.printf("%.2f\n", f);
float
or double
.BigDecimal
or DecimalFormat
, where you can control the number of decimal places.In short the question doesn't really make sense as posed.
