How to nicely format floating numbers to string without unnecessary decimal 0's
To format a floating-point number as a string without unnecessary decimal zeros, you can use the DecimalFormat
class from the java.text
package. The DecimalFormat
class allows you to specify a pattern for formatting numbers as strings.
Here's an example of how you can use the DecimalFormat
class to format a floating-point number as a string without unnecessary decimal zeros:
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double x = 123.456789;
// Create a DecimalFormat with a pattern that removes unnecessary decimal zeros
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.#####");
// Format the number as a string
String str = df.format(x);
System.out.println(str); // prints "123.45679"
}
}
In this example, the DecimalFormat
is created with a pattern that specifies up to 5 decimal places. The format()
method is then used to format the x
variable as a string, and the resulting string is printed to the console. The resulting string does not have any unnecessary decimal zeros.
