Conversions

[shahin912]

if i have a code like this:

out.printf("%.0f", f);

"f" is a big number.

for example 640237370528000

i want the number to be like this

6,402,373,705,728,000 when it gets printed out.

how do i do the conversion?

If your big number is an integer number and you are using the BigInteger class you can simply use the "%, d" as the format.

System.out.printf("%, d", new BigInteger("640237370528000"));

the users enter a number. its not a fixed number. i want to know how to use conversions so there is a comma in every thousand separator

What is the format String you used and what is your Java version?

this is my code:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.*;
import type.lib.ToolBox;

public class eCheck03D
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

PrintStream out = System.out;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

out.print("Enter an integer ... ");
int integer = in.nextInt();

double f = ToolBox.factorial(integer);

out.print(integer + "! = ");
out.printf("%.0f%, d", f);

double root = Math.cbrt(integer);
out.println("");
out.print("Cubic Root of 18 = ");
out.printf("%.0f" , root);
}
}



I have JDK 7

That format String is a mess; copy the format String given to you verbatim and see the result.
