NumberFormat

Section titled “NumberFormat”

Different countries have different number formats and considering this we can have different formats using Locale of java. Using locale can help in formatting

Locale locale = new Locale("en", "IN");
NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getInstance(locale);

using above format you can perform various tasks

  • Format Number `numberFormat.format(10000000.99);`
  • Format Currency `NumberFormat currencyFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale); currencyFormat.format(10340.999);`
  • Format Percentage `NumberFormat percentageFormat = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(locale); percentageFormat.format(10929.999);`
  • Control Number of Digits 
    • numberFormat.setMinimumIntegerDigits(int digits)
    numberFormat.setMaximumIntegerDigits(int digits)
    numberFormat.setMinimumFractionDigits(int digits)
    numberFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(int digits)
