How to round double or float values to 2 decimal points

Sometimes while working with double and floats, we need to round them to specific decimal points for calculation. For example, stores round final price to 2 decimal places with half-up rounding mode.

Example #1

Input : 12

output : 12.00

Example #2

Input: 18.888

output : 18.89

1. This example using console input with double

import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Hello {
    private static DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat(".00");

    public static void main(String ar[]) {
        System.out.print("Please enter number : ");
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        double number = in.nextDouble();
        double roundOff = (double) Math.round(number * 100) / 100;
        String ns = decimalFormat.format(roundOff);
        System.out.println("Round off number up to 2 decimal place : " + ns);
    }
}

Outputs

Test #1

Please enter number : 12
Round off number up to 2 decimal place : 12.00

Test #2

Please enter number : 18.888
Round off number up to 2 decimal place : 18.89

2.  Using float variable

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class Hello {
    private static DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat(".00");

    public static void main(String ar[]) {

        float number = 24.989f;
        float roundOff = (float) Math.round(number * 100) / 100;
        String ns = decimalFormat.format(roundOff);
        System.out.println("Round off number up to 2 decimal place : " + ns);
    }
}

A.  Formula of example is to round of up to 2 decimal points

Round off

double roundOff = (double) Math.round(number * 100) / 100;

Formate

private static DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat(".00");

B. Formula of example is to round of up to 3 decimal points

Round off

double roundOff = (double) Math.round(number * 1000) / 1000;

Formate

private static DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat(".000");

Uses : Sometimes in project we needed show pricing in $189.00 or ₹123.00 format.
