number of decimals

Hey,

how can I set the number of decimals?

Example:
5 decimals 2.12345
2 decimals 2.12

I've found something about NumberFormat in the API, but without an example I
can't solve this...

Thanks in advance,
Oswald

nfDollars = NumberFormat.ge tInstance();
nfDollars.setMa ximumFractionDi gits(2);
nfDollars.setMi nimumFractionDi gits(2);
double ss = 1.2323;
String s = nfDollars.forma t(ss).toString( );

I had to wait till i got home to answer this one, didn't have my docs on me
at work.

This is what i used when i needed to format things a specific way

DecimalFormat money = new DecimalFormat(" $###,###,###.00 ");

then when ever you need to format something just do

money.format(va lue);

i belive you need to import java.text.* for that one

hoped that helped
Nick

Hi there, I'm trying to import a csv file into my MySQL database. Unfortunately the number format for the price column is formatted in German style, i.e. XX,XX (decimals separated by comma not by dot). When importing this file using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE the decimals are cut off. I'm using column type FLOAT for the price column in my database. Is there any chance to preserve the decimals when importing the csv file into my database...

The folllowing will round to 526, but it should round to 527. It works correctly for all other numbers, except for this one. Does anybody know of a bug in Math.Round? Dim ldecWater As Decimal = 526.5 CType(Math.Round(ldecWater, 0), String) -- Chris Davoli

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
