How to round a number to n decimal places in Java (31 answers)

Closed 3 years ago.

For example I have the variable 3.545555555, which I would want to truncate to just 3.54.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Maybe following :

double roundTwoDecimals(double d) { 
      DecimalFormat twoDForm = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); 
      return Double.valueOf(twoDForm.format(d));
}  

Answer 4

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;
}

I have a slightly modified version of Mani's.

private static BigDecimal truncateDecimal(final double x, final int numberofDecimals) {
    return new BigDecimal(String.valueOf(x)).setScale(numberofDecimals, BigDecimal.ROUND_DOWN);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    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(3.545555555, 2));

    System.out.println(truncateDecimal(9.0, 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(-9.0, 2));
    System.out.println(truncateDecimal(-3.545555555, 2));

}

Output:

0.00
9.62
9.62
9.62
9.62
9.99
9.00
3.54
-9.62
-9.62
-9.62
-9.62
-9.99
-9.00
-3.54

Answer 6

3.545555555 to get 3.54. Try Following for this:

    DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##");

    df.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.FLOOR);

    double result = new Double(df.format(3.545555555);

This will give= 3.54!
