2 decimal places needed

Hello All.
I tried this format:

Code:

---

double homePrice;
String.format("%.2f", homePrice);

---

but I am not getting 2 decimal places that i need.
ex. I get $100000.0 Even if I type 100 I get 100.0 (?)
Thanks In Advance

How exactly are you executing the code?

Code:

---

                double homePrice = 100;
                String x = String.format("%.2f", homePrice);
                System.out.println(x);

---

Code:

---

run:
100.00
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 second)

---

That's my code/output.

Could this "homePrice =" statement have anything to do with the output formatting not coming out as 2 decimals?:confused: :confused:
I tried your suggestion Zack.

Code:

---

homePrice = Double.parseDouble(inputStr);
                String x = String.format("%.2f", homePrice);

---

How are you now outputting x? As long as homePrice has a value it should force the two decimal places.
