Closed 5 years ago.
I’m working on a project at the java and can’t get a very important method to work
I have tried multiple solutions many from similar questions in stackoverflow none of the answers seems to work for may case
What I need is a simple method that will get a double and no matter what is the value of the double as long as there is more than two digits after the dot it will return the same number with only the first two digits after the dot
For example even if the input is “-3456.679985432333”
The output would be “-3456.67” and not “-3456.68” like other solutions gave me
The closest solution that seems to work was
public static double round (double d) {
d = (double) (Math.floor(d * 100)) / (100);
return d;
}
Yet it did failed when the input was “-0.3355555555555551” the output was “-0.34” and not “-0.33” as expected
I have no idea why did it fail and I’m out of solutions with only a few hours left for this project.
Edit: the fix I found was simple and worked great
public static double round (double d){
if (d>0) return (double) (Math.floor(d*100))/100;
else
{
return (double) (Math.ceil(d*100))/100;
}
}
Anyway thanks for everyone that explained to me what was wrong with my method and I will make sure to try all of your solutions

Explanation
Java is working correct. It's rather that floor returns the first integer that is less than (or equal) to the given value. It does not round towards zero.
For your input -0.335... you first multiply by 100 and receive -33.5.... If you now use floor you correctly receive -34 since its a negative number and -34 is the first integer below 33.5....
Solution
If you want to strip (remove) everything after the decimal you need to use ceil for negative numbers. Or use a method which always rounds towards zero, i.e. the int cast:
public static double round (double d) {
d = (double) ((int) (d * 100)) / (100);
return d;
}
(also see round towards zero in java)
Better alternatives
However there are dedicated, better, methods to achieve what you want. Consider using DecimalFormat (documentation):
DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("##.##"); //
formatter.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.DOWN); // Towards zero
String result = formatter.format(input);
Or any other variant, just search for it, there are plenty of questions like this: How to round a number to n decimal places in Java

Something like this would suffice:
public static double truncate(double input) {
DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("##.##");
decimalFormat.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.DOWN);
String formatResult = decimalFormat.format(input);
return Double.parseDouble(formatResult);
}
returns:
-3456.67
and
-0.33
respectively for both examples provided.

you are able to do this, all you need to do is:
number * 10 or (100),
then convert to a int,
then back to double and / 10 (or 100).
10 = for 1 number after digit,
100 = for 2 (if i remember correctly).

public static double CustomRound(double number, int digits)
{
if (digits < 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
long f = (long)Math.pow(10, digits);
number = number * f;
long rnd = Math.round(number);
return (double)(rnd / f);
}
An alternative approach:
public static double round(double number, int digits)
{
if (digits < 0)
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(value);
bd = bd.setScale(digits, RoundingMode.HALF_UP);
return bd.doubleValue();
}

How to always round off upto 2 decimal places in java

I have tried the following code but it is not working in a particular case.
Eg: Suppose, I have a double value=2.5045 and i want it to be rounded off upto two decimal places using the below code.After rounding off, i get the answer as 2.5. But I want the answer to be 2.50 instead. In this case,zero is trimmed off. Is there any way to retain the zero so as to get the desired answer as 2.50 after rounding off.
private static DecimalFormat twoDForm = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
public static double roundTwoDecimals(double amount) {
return Double.valueOf(twoDForm.format(amount));
}

try this pattern
new DecimalFormat("0.00");
but this will change only formatting, double cannot hold number of digits after decimal poin, try BigDecimal
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(2.5045).setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_UP);

Look at the documentation for DecimalFormat. For # it says:
Digit, zero shows as absent
0 is probably what you want:
Digit
So what you are looking for is either "0.00" or "#.00" as a format string, depending on whether you want the first digit before the period, to be visible in case the numbers absolute value is smalle than 0.

Try this
DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("#");
format.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
answer.setText(format.format(data2));

Try This
double d = 4.85999999999;
long l = (int)Math.round(d * 100); // truncates
d = l / 100.0;

You are returning a double. But double or Double are objects representing a number and don't carry any formatting information. Ìf you need to output two decimal places the point to do this is when you convert your double to a String.

use # if you want to ignore 0
new DecimalFormat("###,#0.00").format(d)

There is another way to achieve this . I have already posted answer in post
will just answer again here. As we will require rounding off values many times .
public class RoundingNumbers {
public static void main(String args[]){
double number = 2.5045;
int decimalsToConsider = 2;
BigDecimal bigDecimal = new BigDecimal(number);
BigDecimal roundedWithScale = bigDecimal.setScale(decimalsToConsider, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
System.out.println("Rounded value with setting scale = "+roundedWithScale);
bigDecimal = new BigDecimal(number);
BigDecimal roundedValueWithDivideLogic = bigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal.ONE,decimalsToConsider,BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
System.out.println("Rounded value with Dividing by one = "+roundedValueWithDivideLogic);
}
}
Output we will get is
Rounded value with setting scale = 2.50
Rounded value with Dividing by one = 2.50

double kilobytes = 1205.6358;
double newKB = Math.round(kilobytes*100.0)/100.0;
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
System.out.println("kilobytes (DecimalFormat) : " + df.format(kilobytes));
Try this if u are still getting the above problem

Truncating Double to 2 decimal places?

I know this question is repeated alot, but please have a look at the statement first than mark it already answered :)
For truncating the double values 2 decimal places I use two ways which are mostly mentioned everywhere. They are given below
//this one
DecimalFormat dtime = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
return Double.valueOf(dtime.format(val));
//or the one below
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(val);
BigDecimal rounded = bd.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
return rounded.doubleValue();
The problem is that for both the ways I mostly get correct rounded values in the dataset. But strangely at the same time I get values like 2.00000000000005 or 19.97999999999.
The problem that I dont get is that why only a few values are not rounded of. What could be wrong?

For truncating the double values 2 decimal places I use two ways which are mostly mentioned everywhere.
And they are both wrong, because they are attempting the impossible. There is no such thing as truncating a double to 2 decimal places, because doubles don't have decimal places. They have binary places. See my answer here for proof. If you want decimal places you have to use a decimal radix, i.e. BigDecimal or DecimalFormat.

Issue is that floating point numbers are inherently approximate in nature, given the underlying representation. Therefore you will want to use them in places where approximations are good, and avoid them where approximations are no good (e.g. financials).
The call to rounded.doubleValue() still returns a floating point number and so it is still impacted by the limitations of the representation.
See
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html
for more information.

The following piece of code helped me in restricting the number of decimal places (truncating) for a double value.
public static Double truncate (double valueToTruncate, int numberOfDecimalPlaces) {
if (valueToTruncate > 0) {
return new BigDecimal(String.valueOf(valueToTruncate)).setScale(numberOfDecimalPlaces, BigDecimal.ROUND_FLOOR).doubleValue();
} else {
return new BigDecimal(String.valueOf(valueToTruncate)).setScale(numberOfDecimalPlaces, BigDecimal.ROUND_CEILING).doubleValue();
}
}
Hope this helps someone :)

I'm new to this but keeping everything in front of me I did it this way. Now mind you this is a truncation mathematically, I don't convert to string except in my debugs after each line.
It isn't elegant but seems to work. This is purely a problem solving framework.
Anyway;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class TestConstructs
{
private static double w;
private static int w1;
private static double w2;
private static double w3;
private static int w4;
private static double w5;
private static double w6;
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
TestConstructs foo = new TestConstructs();
foo.setWage(w);
}
public void setWage(double w)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter Wage: "); //enter something longish like 30987.978654 or w/e
w = input.nextDouble();
w1 = (int)w;
System.out.printf("%d w1\n",w1);
w2 = w - w1;
System.out.printf("%.3f w2\n",w2);
w3 = w2*100;
System.out.printf("%.3f w3\n",w3);
w4 = (int)w3;
System.out.printf("%d w4\n",w4);
w5 = (double)w4;
System.out.printf("%.3f w5\n",w5);
w6 = 0 + w5/100;
System.out.printf("%.3f w6\n",w6);
w = w1 + w6;
System.out.printf("%.3f final value\n",w); //.3 to show zero
input.close();
}
}
What I got at the end
Enter Wage:
30987.978654
30987 w1
0.979 w2
97.865 w3
97 w4
97.000 w5
0.970 w6
30987.970 final value

How do I round a double to two decimal places in Java? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to round a number to n decimal places in Java
(39 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
This is what I did to round a double to 2 decimal places:
amount = roundTwoDecimals(amount);
public double roundTwoDecimals(double d) {
DecimalFormat twoDForm = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
return Double.valueOf(twoDForm.format(d));
}
This works great if the amount = 25.3569 or something like that, but if the amount = 25.00 or the amount = 25.0, then I get 25.0! What I want is both rounding as well as formatting to 2 decimal places.

Just use: (easy as pie)
double number = 651.5176515121351;
number = Math.round(number * 100);
number = number/100;
The output will be 651.52

Are you working with money? Creating a String and then converting it back is pretty loopy.
Use BigDecimal. This has been discussed quite extensively. You should have a Money class and the amount should be a BigDecimal.
Even if you're not working with money, consider BigDecimal.

Use a digit place holder (0), as with '#' trailing/leading zeros show as absent:
DecimalFormat twoDForm = new DecimalFormat("#.00");

Use this
String.format("%.2f", doubleValue) // change 2, according to your requirement.

You can't 'round a double to [any number of] decimal places', because doubles don't have decimal places. You can convert a double to a base-10 String with N decimal places, because base-10 does have decimal places, but when you convert it back you are back in double-land, with binary fractional places.

This is the simplest i could make it but it gets the job done a lot easier than most examples ive seen.
double total = 1.4563;
total = Math.round(total * 100);
System.out.println(total / 100);
The result is 1.46.

You can use org.apache.commons.math.util.MathUtils from apache common
double round = MathUtils.round(double1, 2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_DOWN);

double amount = 25.00;
NumberFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("#0.00");
System.out.println(formatter.format(amount));

You can use Apache Commons Math:
Precision.round(double x, int scale)
source: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/apidocs/org/apache/commons/math3/util/Precision.html#round(double,%20int)

Your Money class could be represented as a subclass of Long or having a member representing the money value as a native long. Then when assigning values to your money instantiations, you will always be storing values that are actually REAL money values. You simply output your Money object (via your Money's overridden toString() method) with the appropriate formatting. e.g $1.25 in a Money object's internal representation is 125. You represent the money as cents, or pence or whatever the minimum denomination in the currency you are sealing with is ... then format it on output. No you can NEVER store an 'illegal' money value, like say $1.257.

Starting java 1.8 you can do more with lambda expressions & checks for null. Also, one below can handle Float or Double & variable number of decimal points (including 2 :-)).
public static Double round(Number src, int decimalPlaces) {
return Optional.ofNullable(src)
.map(Number::doubleValue)
.map(BigDecimal::new)
.map(dbl -> dbl.setScale(decimalPlaces, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP))
.map(BigDecimal::doubleValue)
.orElse(null);
}

You can try this one:
public static String getRoundedValue(Double value, String format) {
DecimalFormat df;
if(format == null)
df = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
else
df = new DecimalFormat(format);
return df.format(value);
}
or
public static double roundDoubleValue(double value, int places) {
if (places < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException();
long factor = (long) Math.pow(10, places);
value = value * factor;
long tmp = Math.round(value);
return (double) tmp / factor;
}

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
double total = Double.valueOf(val);

First declare a object of DecimalFormat class. Note the argument inside the DecimalFormat is #.00 which means exactly 2 decimal places of rounding off.
private static DecimalFormat df2 = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
Now, apply the format to your double value:
double input = 32.123456;
System.out.println("double : " + df2.format(input)); // Output: 32.12
Note in case of double input = 32.1;
Then the output would be 32.10 and so on.

If you want the result to two decimal places you can do
// assuming you want to round to Infinity.
double tip = (long) (amount * percent + 0.5) / 100.0;
This result is not precise but Double.toString(double) will correct for this and print one to two decimal places. However as soon as you perform another calculation, you can get a result which will not be implicitly rounded. ;)

Math.round is one answer,
public class Util {
public static Double formatDouble(Double valueToFormat) {
long rounded = Math.round(valueToFormat*100);
return rounded/100.0;
}
}
Test in Spock,Groovy
void "test double format"(){
given:
Double performance = 0.6666666666666666
when:
Double formattedPerformance = Util.formatDouble(performance)
println "######################## formatted ######################### => ${formattedPerformance}"
then:
0.67 == formattedPerformance
}

Presuming the amount could be positive as well as negative, rounding to two decimal places may use the following piece of code snippet.
amount = roundTwoDecimals(amount);
public double roundTwoDecimals(double d) {
if (d < 0)
d -= 0.005;
else if (d > 0)
d += 0.005;
return (double)((long)(d * 100.0))/100);
}

where num is the double number
Integer 2 denotes the number of decimal places that we want to print.
Here we are taking 2 decimal palces
System.out.printf("%.2f",num);

Here is an easy way that guarantee to output the myFixedNumber rounded to two decimal places:
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class TwoDecimalPlaces {
static double myFixedNumber = 98765.4321;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(new DecimalFormat("0.00").format(myFixedNumber));
}
}
The result is: 98765.43

int i = 180;
int j = 1;
double div= ((double)(j*100)/i);
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.00"); // simple way to format till any deciaml points
System.out.println(div);
System.out.println(df.format(div));

You can use this function.
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
public static double roundToDecimals(double number, int c)
{
String rightPad = StringUtils.rightPad("1", c+1, "0");
int decimalPoint = Integer.parseInt(rightPad);
number = Math.round(number * decimalPoint);
return number/decimalPoint;
}

I have:

Don't use doubles. You can lose some precision. Here's a general purpose function.
public static double round(double unrounded, int precision, int roundingMode)
{
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(unrounded);
BigDecimal rounded = bd.setScale(precision, roundingMode);
return rounded.doubleValue();
}
You can call it with
round(yourNumber, 3, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
"precision" being the number of decimal points you desire.

Just use Math.round()
double mkm = ((((amountdrug/fluidvol)*1000f)/60f)*infrate)/ptwt;
mkm= (double)(Math.round(mkm*100))/100;

double formattedNumber = Double.parseDouble(new DecimalFormat("#.##").format(unformattedNumber));
worked for me :)

Multiply by 1000, round, and divide back by 1000.
For basic Java: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/index.html and http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/index.html

BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal("12345.0789");
a = a.divide(new BigDecimal("1"), 2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
//Also check other rounding modes
System.out.println("a >> "+a.toPlainString()); //Returns 12345.08

Try:
float number mkm = (((((amountdrug/fluidvol)*1000f)/60f)*infrate)/ptwt)*1000f;
int newNum = (int) mkm;
mkm = newNum/1000f; // Will return 3 decimal places

Create a class called Round and try using the method round as Round.round(targetValue, roundToDecimalPlaces) in your code
public class Round {
public static float round(float targetValue, int roundToDecimalPlaces ){
int valueInTwoDecimalPlaces = (int) (targetValue * Math.pow(10, roundToDecimalPlaces));
return (float) (valueInTwoDecimalPlaces / Math.pow(10, roundToDecimalPlaces));
}
}
