compile time error
DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat(“0.##”);
double value = fmt.format(“23.457”);
System.out.print(value);

Re: compile time error
1. fmt.format() will return a String, so should be declare as String vaue instead of double.
2. Argument for fmt.format is doublle, not string.
So the correct code should beDecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("0.##"); String value = fmt.format(23.457); System.out.print(value);
