Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to format currency in <b>Brazil </b> but Java simply does not know how to handle this.<br />
<br />
ex:<br />
NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance(n<wbr />ew Locale(&quot;br&quot;));<br />
Object value = format.parse(&quot;5,45&quot;);<br />
<br />
value ends up translating to 54500. &nbsp;It's very strange. &nbsp;Does anyone know why and how I can properly format the value?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
