RE: DecimalFormat

["Xu, Weining" <Weining.Xu@xxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I run the code.  Yes, by using the numbers you listed, I got the same
results as yours: n1 = 1.25, n2 = 2.32, n3 = 1.12.

But, if I change the input numbers as: n1 = 5.345F; n2 = 1.145F; n3 =
2.645F;
The results:
        n1 = 5.34, n2 = 1.14, n3 = 2.64
All three are wrong!

Could you reproduce the same results?  Thanks.

Xu, I decided to test your example.  Here's my code:

        DecimalFormat two = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
        float n1, n2, n3;
        n1 = 1.245F; n2 = 2.3237F; n3 = 1.118F;
        n1 = Float.parseFloat(two.format(n1));
        n2 = Float.parseFloat(two.format(n2));
        n3 = Float.parseFloat(two.format(n3));
        System.out.println("n1 = " + n1 + ", n2 = " + n2 + ", n3 = " + n3);

And here's my results:

        n1 = 1.25, n2 = 2.32, n3 = 1.12

According to my test, DecimalFormat is rounding correctly.  Do you get
different results than this?

Joe
