Thread: Formatting answers to 2 decimal places

It has to be something flawed in the 'if' statements themselves, don't you think?

It's possible. Go through that section of the code very slowly and carefully in the debugger.

That's alot of work so far for working on formatting decimals into 2 spaces.

What I would do is...

for a number example: 52.33950258

		double amount = 52.22950158;
		String s = ""+amount+"";
		String beforeDecimal = s.split("\\.")[0];
		String afterDecimal = s.split("\\.")[1].substring(0,2);
		s = beforeDecimal+"."+afterDecimal;		
		System.out.println(s);

Result: 52.22

If you want to round, do

String 3rddigit = s.split("\\.")[1].substring(2,3);
 
if(integer.parseint(3rddigit) > 5){
afterdecimal = afterdecimal.substring(0,1)+(integer.parseint(afterdecimal.substring(1,2)+1));
}

To be honest, if you want to get a more accurate decimal round, I average each decimal space after the 2 you show as a result.

If those spaces don't average more than 5, I wouldn't round it. But that's quite a bit of code. You could condense it in a for loop though.
