Just a quick one. Anyone know how to restrict the number of decimal places in a doouble value to 2?
I've had a look around and seen a few answer with silly caluculations (divide by 100 * by itself etc...) but none of them seem to work. All i want to do is reduce the decimal places for a value
so for example: 10.714285714285714% becomes 10.71%
If what you want to do is to obtain a textual representation of the value, with two decimal places, DecimalFormat is indeed the way to go.
If what you want to do is to perform calculations using only two decimal places, then you should not be using floating-point arithmetic. Instead, you should do integer calculations, using "hundredths" (if you're doing currency, call them "cents", "pence" etc.).

But how did the elephant get like that? What did you do? I think all we can do now is read this tiny ad:
