How to Format a double value to 2 decimal places

JavaPF · #1 (**permalink**) 28-03-2009, 03:35 PM

This code allows you to round a double value to 2 decimal places using DecimalFormat.

You can increase the decimal places by adding an extra #. For example DecimalFormat("#.###"); rounds to 3 decimal places.

Java Code:

import java.text.*;

public class DecimalPlaces {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        double d = 1.234567;
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
        System.out.print(df.format(d));
    }

}
