How to display an output of float data with 2 deci

Question

Can I do it with System.out.print?

Answer 1

float f = 102.236569f; 
DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
float twoDigitsF = Float.valueOf(decimalFormat.format(f)); // output is 102.24

Answer 2

float floatValue=22.34555f;
System.out.print(String.format("%.2f", floatValue));

Output is 22.35. If you need 3 decimal points change it to "%.3f".

Answer 3

I would suggest using String.format() if you need the value as a String in your code.

For example, you can use String.format() in the following way:

float myFloat = 2.001f;

String formattedString = String.format("%.02f", myFloat);

Answer 4

You can use the printf method, like so:

System.out.printf("%.2f", val);

In short, the %.2f syntax tells Java to return your variable (val) with 2 decimal places (.2) in decimal representation of a floating-point number (f) from the start of the format specifier (%).

There are other conversion characters you can use besides f:

• d: decimal integer
• o: octal integer
• e: floating-point in scientific notation

Answer 5

Just do String str = System.out.printf("%.2f", val).replace(",", "."); if you want to ensure that independently of the Locale of the user, you will always get / display a "." as decimal separator. This is a must if you don't want to make your program crash if you later do some kind of conversion like float f = Float.parseFloat(str);

Answer 6

A simple trick is to generate a shorter version of your variable by multiplying it with e.g. 100, rounding it and dividing it by 100.0 again. This way you generate a variable, with 2 decimal places:

double new_variable = Math.round(old_variable*100) / 100.0;

This "cheap trick" was always good enough for me, and works in any language (I am not a Java person, just learning it).
