Hi,

Please consider using the java.text.DecimalFormat class to format your
decimal output. Here is an example:

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class NumberFormat {
   public static void main( String[] args ) {
       double value = 5.94;
       DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat( "##.##" );
       System.out.println( "The value is: " + df.format( value ) );
   }
}

java.text.DecimalFormat class formats the output based on a wildcard
pattern that you feed it. These wild cards are:

# - for a digit, does not show 0 if last
0 - for a digit
. - for the decimal separator
- - the minus sign
, - grouping separator
E - for scientific notation
% - shows as percentage

And there are many more. Please see the JavaDocs on
java.text.DecimalFormat for more information:

If you want control over the rounding of the numbers during
computations, then consider using the java.math.BigDecimal class.

Hope it helps!
