Java round double value to 2 decimal places Example

1. Introduction

A double variable is used to hold a floating point value, such as 12.578. A decimal place is the position of a digit to the right of a decimal point. The 12.578 with 2 decimal places is represented as 12.57. Java has provided PrintStream, String.format, Formatter, NumberFormat, DecimalFormat, and BigDecimal to format and round a number based on the precision and RoundingMode since version 1.5.

In this example, I will create several junit test classes to demonstrate how to format and round a double value with 2 decimal places.

2. Technologies Used

The example code in this article was built and run using:

  • Java 1.8.101
  • Eclipse Oxygen
  • Junit
  • Maven 3.3.9

3. Maven Project

3.1 Dependency

Add Junit to the pom.xml.

3.2 Constants

In this step, I will create a TEST_DOUBLES variable to hold a double[] array and a TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES_STRING_FORMAT variable to hold a String for 2 decimal places format which will be used in PrintStream, String, and Formatter classes.

TestConstants.java

package org.jcg.zheng;

public class TestConstants {

    public static double[] TEST_DOUBLES = { -123.345, 0.4, 0.446, 124, 124.56679 };

    public static final String TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES_STRING_FORMAT = "%.2f";

}

3.3 PrintStream

PrintStream provides printf and format methods. Here are the methods’ signatures:

PrintStream	printf(Locale l, String format, Object... args)
A convenience method to write a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.
PrintStream	printf(String format, Object... args)
A convenience method to write a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.
PrintStream	format(Locale l, String format, Object... args)
Writes a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.
PrintStream	format(String format, Object... args)
Writes a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.

In this step, I will create a junit test class to format a double value with 2 decimal places. The String format syntax for 2 decimal places is "%.2f" which is defined in the TestConstants class.

PrintStreamTest.java

package org.jcg.zheng;

import org.junit.Test;

public class PrintSteamTest {

    @Test
    public void test_printf() {
        for (double testDouble : TestConstants.TEST_DOUBLES) {
            System.out.print("Original double:" + testDouble);
            System.out.printf(", Rounded=" + TestConstants.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES_STRING_FORMAT + "\n",
                    testDouble);
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void test_format() {
        for (double testDouble : TestConstants.TEST_DOUBLES) {
            System.out.format("Rounded=" + TestConstants.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES_STRING_FORMAT + "\n",
                    testDouble);
        }
    }

}

3.4 String.format

The String class provides two static format methods. Here are the methods’ signatures:

static String	format(Locale l, String format, Object... args)
Returns a formatted string using the specified locale, format string, and arguments.
static String	format(String format, Object... args)
Returns a formatted string using the specified format string and arguments.

In this step, I will create a junit test class to format a double value with 2 decimal places and make sure the original double value is equal to the rounded value within 2 decimal places.

StringFormatTest.java

package org.jcg.zheng;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import org.junit.Test;

public class StringFormatTest {

    @Test
    public void test_print_String_format() {
        for (double testDouble : TestConstants.TEST_DOUBLES) {
            String doubleTwoDecimal = String.format(TestConstants.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES_STRING_FORMAT,
                    testDouble);

            double roundedValue = Double.valueOf(doubleTwoDecimal);
            assertEquals(testDouble, roundedValue, 0.01);

            System.out.println("Rounded=" + doubleTwoDecimal);
        }
    }

}

3.5 Formatter

The Formatter class provides the format method. Here are the methods’ signatures:

Formatter	format(Locale l, String format, Object... args)
Writes a formatted string to this object's destination using the specified locale, format string, and arguments.
Formatter	format(String format, Object... args)
Writes a formatted string to this object's destination using the specified format string and arguments.

In this step, I will create a junit test class to format a double value with 2 decimal places.

FormatterTest.java

package org.jcg.zheng;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.util.Formatter;

import org.junit.Test;

public class FormaterTest {

    @Test
    public void test_Formatter() {
        for (double testDouble : TestConstants.TEST_DOUBLES) {
            Formatter fmt = new Formatter();
            fmt.format(TestConstants.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES_STRING_FORMAT, testDouble);
            double roundedValue = Double.valueOf(fmt.toString());

            assertEquals(testDouble, roundedValue, 0.01);
            System.out.println("Rounded=" + roundedValue);
            fmt.close();
        }
    }

}

3.6 NumberFormat

The NumberFormat class provides the format method. Here are the methods’ signatures:

String	format(double number)
Specialization of format.
abstract StringBuffer	format(double number, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos)
Specialization of format.

In this step, I will create a junit test class to format a double value with 2 decimal places with Java 8 steam API.

NumberFormatTest.java

package org.jcg.zheng;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.math.RoundingMode;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.stream.DoubleStream;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

import org.junit.Test;

public class NumberFormatTest {

    private DoubleStream doubleStream = DoubleStream.of(-123.345, 0.4, 0.446, 124, 124.56679);

    @Test
    public void test_NumberFormat_format() {
        NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
        nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
        nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);

        doubleStream.forEach(testDouble -> {
            Stream.of(RoundingMode.values()).forEach(roundingMode -> {
                nf.setRoundingMode(roundingMode);
                System.out.print("Original double:" + testDouble);
                try {
                    double roundedDouble = Double.valueOf(nf.format(testDouble));

                    assertEquals(testDouble, roundedDouble, 0.01);

                    System.out.println(
                            " " + roundingMode.name() + ", formatted double:" + roundedDouble);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.out.println(
                            " " + roundingMode.name() + "Caught exception" + e.getMessage());
                }

            });
        });

    }

}

3.7 DecimalFormat

The DecimalFormat class provides a format method. Here is the method’s signature:

StringBuffer	format(double number, StringBuffer result, FieldPosition fieldPosition)
Formats a double to produce a string.

In this step, I will create a junit test class to format a double value with 2 decimal places.

Note:

  • 0 – prints a digit if provided, otherwise prints 0.
  • # – prints a digit if provided, otherwise prints nothing.

DecimalFormatTest.java

package org.jcg.zheng;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.math.RoundingMode;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

import org.junit.Test;

public class DecimalFormatTest {

    private final String TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_PAD_ZERO_AFTER = "#.00";
    private final String TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_PAD_ZERO_BEFORE = "0.##";
    private final String TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_NOT_PAD = "#.##";
    private final String TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_PAD_ZERO = "0.00";

    public String[] TWO_PLACES_FORMATS = { TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_PAD_ZERO_AFTER,
        TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_PAD_ZERO_BEFORE, TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_NOT_PAD,
        TWO_DECIMAL_FORMAT_PAD_ZERO };

    @Test
    public void test_DecimalFormat() {
        for (double testDouble : TestConstants.TEST_DOUBLES) {
            for (String decimalFormat : TWO_PLACES_FORMATS) {
                DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat(decimalFormat);
                for (RoundingMode rm : RoundingMode.values()) {
                    if (!RoundingMode.UNNECESSARY.equals(rm)) {
                        df.setRoundingMode(rm);
                        double roundedValue = Double.valueOf(df.format(testDouble));
                        assertEquals(testDouble, roundedValue, 0.01);
                        printDouble(testDouble, df.format(testDouble), rm, decimalFormat);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private void printDouble(double testDouble, String rounded, RoundingMode rm,
            String decimalFormat) {
        System.out.println("Original=" + testDouble + " Rounded with \"" + decimalFormat + "\" "
                + rm.name() + " =" + rounded);
    }

}

3.8 BigDecimal.round

The BigDecimal class provides a round method to round a double value based on a MathContext. Here is the method’s signature:

BigDecimal	round(MathContext mc)
Returns a BigDecimal rounded according to the MathContext settings.

In this step, I will create a junit test class to format a double value with 2 decimal places.

DecimalRoundTest.java

package org.jcg.zheng;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.math.RoundingMode;

import org.junit.Test;

public class BigDecimalRoundTest {

    private static final double TEST_DOUBLE = 0.56679;

    @Test
    public void test_round_2() {
        BigDecimal bigDec = BigDecimal.valueOf(TEST_DOUBLE);

        System.out.println("original double: " + TEST_DOUBLE);

        for (RoundingMode rm : RoundingMode.values()) {
            System.out.print("\tRoundingMode=" + rm.name());
            try {
                double roundValue = bigDec.setScale(2, rm).doubleValue();

                assertEquals(TEST_DOUBLE, roundValue, 0.01);

                System.out.println("\t With 2 decimal places: " + roundValue);
            } catch (ArithmeticException ae) {
                System.out.println("Caught exception for " + rm.name());
            }
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void test_round_2and3() {
        BigDecimal bigDec = BigDecimal.valueOf(TEST_DOUBLE);

        double round2 = bigDec.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_CEILING).doubleValue();

        double round3 = bigDec.setScale(3, BigDecimal.ROUND_CEILING).doubleValue();

        assertEquals(0.57, round2, 0.01);
        assertEquals(0.567, round3, 0.001);
    }

}

5. Java round double value to 2 decimal places – Summary

In this example, I demonstrated how to round a double value with 2 decimal places via PrintStream, String.format, Formatter, NumberFormat, DecimalFormat, and BigDecimal.

PrintStream, String.format, and Formatter use the same String format syntax to format without knowing the RoundingMode. NumberFormat, DecimalFormat, and BigDecimal round the number with a specific RoundingMode.
