Im having trouble to find a way for formatting this:
System.out.println("Product price reported as $" + price + " before tax and $" + result + " after " + this.tax + " % tax"):
Im trying like this.
String formatDecimals = String.format("%.2f","Product price reported as $" + price + " before tax and $" + result + " after " + this.tax + " % tax"):
I want to have two decimals. Any help
You are trying to format a string as a float, this will not work. The whole text has to go into the "format" parameter:
String formatDecimals = String.format("Product price reported as $%.2f before tax and $%.2f after %.2f %% tax", price, result, this.tax);
I need some tips on how to get my 2nd and 4th percentage in a ".5%" format because in my result I get the result correct but it prints in a whole percentage. So instead of it showing 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, and 6% it gives. 4%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 6% but it still calculates the result correctly. Its like it doesn't show the 4.5% and 5.5%. Heres the code, it may seem long but its just repetitive numbers. Note aIR2 and aIR4, those are the targets

If you want a NumberFormat that displays 4% and 4.5%, i.e. percentage values with a single optional fraction digit, do one of the following:
// Option 1
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance();
fmt.setMaximumFractionDigits(1);
// Option 2
NumberFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("0.#%");
Formatting the interest rate should be changed to handle decimal percentage values.

Closed 8 years ago.
final double YearDep= 0.15; //this is for each year a car loses of the value before
double HybridDepreciation= HybridCarCost * Math.pow(1-YearDep,5);
double HybridFuelCost=(Miles*5*GasCost)/HybridCarMPG;
double GasPowerDepreciation=GasPowerCost * Math.pow(1-YearDep,5);
double GasPowerFuelCost=(Miles *5*GasCost)/GasPowerMPG;
double HybridTotalCost=HybridCarCost - HybridDepreciation + HybridFuelCost;
double GasPowerTotalCost= GasPowerCost - GasPowerDepreciation + GasPowerFuelCost;
System.out.printf("The total cost for the " + HybridName + " " + "is" +" $"+ HybridTotalCost);
System.out.println();
System.out.printf("The total cost for the " + GasPowerName + " "+ "is" + " $"+ GasPowerTotalCost);
use DecimalFormat for this:
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat(".00");
System.out.printf("The total cost for the " + HybridName + " " + "is" +" $"+ df.format(HybridTotalCost));
System.out.println();
System.out.printf("The total cost for the " + GasPowerName + " "+ "is" + " $"+ df.format(GasPowerTotalCost));
Or you can use
String.format("The total cost for the %s is $%.2f", HybridName ,HybridTotalCost)
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
then
df.format(<your_value>);
Or
System.out.println( String.format( "%.2f", <your_value> ) );
You can use.
double roundOff1 = (double) Math.round(HybridTotalCost);
double roundOff2 = (double) Math.round(GasPowerTotalCost);
and you can also use.
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
System.out.printf("The total cost for the " + HybridName + " " + "is" +" $"+ df.format(HybridTotalCost));
System.out.println();
System.out.printf("The total cost for the " + GasPowerName + " "+ "is" + " $"+df.format(GasPowerTotalCost));
double roundOff = Math.round(a*100)/100.0;
or
DecimalFormat number = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
number.format(new Double(2223.8990))
I'm new to java and I've hit a sort of 'syntax learning curve' here. I was wondering how I would get the Doubles in my program i.e. "rate", to format to "#.00"?
I assume I'd have to use "DecimalFormat" to do this but I'm not quite sure how to go about using it to achieve what I want in this situation:
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(reader.readLine());
while (st.hasMoreTokens())
{
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
hours = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken()); // Converts number of hours to double
rate = Double.parseDouble(st.nextToken()); // Converts rate to integer
totalCost += (hours * rate);
System.out.println("Rate = £" + rate + "\t" + "Hours = " + hours);
}
Unfortunately I'm still at the stage where the Oracle Documentation is 95% incomprehensible to me so any helpful insights here would be most welcome :)
EDIT: printout currently looks like this...
Rate = £8.0
Should look like this:
Rate = £8.00
I think this should work:
System.out.println("Rate = E" + df.format(rate) + "\t" + "Hours = " + hours);
You defined the DecimalFormat, but never used it in the printing.
Display it like this:
System.out.println("Rate = £" + df.format(rate) + "\t" + "Hours = " + hours);
I'm trying to write this compounding interest program with a do while loop at the end and I cannot figure out how to print out the final amount.
Here is the code I have so far :
public static void main(String[] args) {
double amount;
double rate;
double year;
System.out.println("This program, with user input, computes interest.\n" +
"It allows for multiple computations.\n" +
"User will input initial cost, interest rate and number of years.");
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("What is the initial cost?");
amount = keyboard.nextDouble();
System.out.println("What is the interest rate?");
rate = keyboard.nextDouble();
rate = rate/100;
System.out.println("How many years?");
year = keyboard.nextInt();
for (int x = 1; x < year; x++){
amount = amount * Math.pow(1.0 + rate, year);
}
System.out.println("For " + year + " years an initial " + amount + " cost compounded at a rate of " + rate + " will grow to " + amount);
String go = "n";
do{
System.out.println("Continue Y/N");
go = keyboard.nextLine();
}while (go.equals("Y") || go.equals("y"));
}
}
The trouble is, amount = amount * Math.pow(1.0 + rate, year);. You're overwriting the original amount with the calculated amount. You need a separate value to hold the calculated value while still holding the original value.
So:
double finalAmount = amount * Math.pow(1.0 + rate, year);
Then in your output:
System.out.println("For " + year + " years an initial " + amount +
" cost compounded at a rate of " + rate + " will grow to " + finalAmount);
EDIT: Alternatively, you can save a line, a variable, and just do the calculation inline, as such:
System.out.println("For " + year + " years an initial " + amount +
" cost compounded at a rate of " + rate + " will grow to " +
(amount * Math.pow(1.0 + rate, year)));
