    Default New to Java Need 2 decimal places, please :). Here is my code

    import java.io.*;

    		System.out.println("BALANCING YOUR CHECKBOOK");
    		System.out.print("Enter the balance of your last statement? $");

    Default Re: New to Java Need 2 decimal places, please :). Here is my code

    //import the DecimalFormat class..
    import java.text.DecimalFormat;

    Add this piece of code before printing out the result :

    DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
    //change the print statement to the below line..
    System.out.print("Your new balance is: " + Double.valueOf(decimalFormat.format(fEndingBalance)) + ".");

    P.S: Use code tags next time you post. Also, post under right section.
