Is it possible to use DecimalFormat while printing it out in a MessageDialog?
e.g. I entered 'A' and '77' in this code and one of the MessageDialogs print out $123.99999999999

I want to know if I can make that $123.999999999999999999 into $123.99.

Read the API for String and look for a method that returns a formatted version of the String.

And shouldn't 123.999999999999999999 be represented as 124.00?

db

you can use a DecimalFormat:

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");

String formatedNum = df.format(savngsAc);
