How to convert Double to 2 precision???????????

double d;
d= 1/3;

NumberFormat numFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() ; // get the currency symbol into default locale

String value = numFormat.format(d); // convert into say $0.33

try the following,

      NumberFormat formatter ;

      formatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US) ;
      String strAmount = formatter.format( amount ) ;

System.out.println( " strAmount " + strAmount ) ;

If you need to store fixed decimal places then use BigDecimal class.

But how do i store the value into DB2, if i use BigDecimal? n what datatype should i use?

store it as a string.

This question was asked before, and I still think (as I thought then) that the best way is using the primitives in java like this:

double d1 = 1;
double d2 = 3;
double d3 = d1/d2;
d3 = ((int)(d3 * 10)) / 10.0;

- now, d3 is 0.3
