I'm trying to format some numbers in a Java program. The numbers will be both doubles and integers. When handling doubles, I want to keep only two decimal points but when handling integers I want the program to keep them unaffected. In other words:
Doubles - Input
14.0184849945
Doubles - Output
14.01
Integers - Input
13
Integers - Output
13 (not 13.00)
Is there a way to implement this in the same DecimalFormat instance? My code is the following, so far:
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#,###,##0.00");
DecimalFormatSymbols otherSymbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.ENGLISH);
otherSymbols.setDecimalSeparator('.');
otherSymbols.setGroupingSeparator(',');
df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(otherSymbols);
You can just set the minimumFractionDigits
to 0. Like this:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(format(14.0184849945)); // prints '14.01'
System.out.println(format(13)); // prints '13'
System.out.println(format(3.5)); // prints '3.5'
System.out.println(format(3.138136)); // prints '3.13'
}
public static String format(Number n) {
NumberFormat format = DecimalFormat.getInstance();
format.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.FLOOR);
format.setMinimumFractionDigits(0);
format.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
return format.format(n);
}
}
Could you not just wrapper this into a Utility call. For example
public class MyFormatter {
private static DecimalFormat df;
static {
df = new DecimalFormat("#,###,##0.00");
DecimalFormatSymbols otherSymbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.ENGLISH);
otherSymbols.setDecimalSeparator('.');
otherSymbols.setGroupingSeparator(',');
df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(otherSymbols);
}
public static <T extends Number> String format(T number) {
if (Integer.isAssignableFrom(number.getClass())
return number.toString();
return df.format(number);
}
}
You can then just do things like: MyFormatter.format(int)
etc.
