QUESTION 14:
What does the following fragment write?
double A= 0.1, B= -0.1;
DecimalFormat numform = new DecimalFormat(" 000.000;-000.000");
System.out.println( "A = " + numform.format(A) );
System.out.println( "B = " + numform.format(B) );
double A= 24.8, B= -92.777, C= 0.009, D= -0.123;
DecimalFormat numform = new DecimalFormat(" 00.00;-00.00");
System.out.println( "A = " + numform.format(A) );
System.out.println( "B = " + numform.format(B) );
System.out.println( "C = " + numform.format(C) );
System.out.println( "D = " + numform.format(D) );
A = 24.80 B = -92.78 C = 00.01 D = -00.12
In financial output, negative numbers are sometimes enclosed in
() without a minus sign.
Here is a fragment that does that:
double firstQ= 456.78, secondQ= -23.06, thirdQ= 46.3, fourthQ= -102.45;
DecimalFormat numform = new DecimalFormat(" 000.00 ;(000.00)");
System.out.println( "First Quarter = " + numform.format(firstQ) );
System.out.println( "Second Quarter = " + numform.format(secondQ) );
System.out.println( "Third Quarter = " + numform.format(thirdQ) );
System.out.println( "Fourth Quarter = " + numform.format(fourthQ) );
The fragment outputs:
First Quarter = 456.78 Second Quarter = (023.06) Third Quarter = 046.30 Fourth Quarter = (102.45)
Notice that the number format pattern is the same in both subpatterns,
000.00.
The pattern for positive numbers includes two spaces to match the
two parentheses output for negative numbers.
