Question

I’m getting in an int with a 6 digit value. I want to display it as a String with a decimal point (.) at 2 digits from the end of int. I wanted to use a float but was suggested to use String for a better display output (instead of 1234.5 will be 1234.50). Therefore, I need a function that will take an int as parameter and return the properly formatted String with a decimal point 2 digits from the end.

Say:

int j= 123456 
Integer.toString(j); 

//processing...

//output : 1234.56

Answer 1

int j = 123456;
String x = Integer.toString(j);
x = x.substring(0, 4) + "." + x.substring(4, x.length());
