DecimalFormat is a concrete subclass of
NumberFormat that formats decimal numbers. It has a variety of
features designed to make it possible to parse and format numbers in any
locale, including support for Western, Arabic, and Indic digits.  It also
supports different kinds of numbers, including integers (123), fixed-point
numbers (123.4), scientific notation (1.23E4), percentages (12%), and
currency amounts ($123).  All of these can be localized.

To obtain a NumberFormat for a specific locale, including the
default locale, call one of NumberFormat's factory methods, such
as getInstance().  In general, do not call the
DecimalFormat constructors directly, since the
NumberFormat factory methods may return subclasses other than
DecimalFormat. If you need to customize the format object, do
something like this:

NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getInstance(loc);
if (f instanceof DecimalFormat) {
    ((DecimalFormat) f).setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(true);
}



A DecimalFormat comprises a pattern and a set of
symbols.  The pattern may be set directly using
applyPattern(), or indirectly using the API methods.  The
symbols are stored in a DecimalFormatSymbols object.  When using
the NumberFormat factory methods, the pattern and symbols are
read from localized ResourceBundles.

Patterns

DecimalFormat patterns have the following syntax:

Pattern:
        PositivePattern
        PositivePattern ; NegativePattern
PositivePattern:
        Prefixopt Number Suffixopt
NegativePattern:
        Prefixopt Number Suffixopt
Prefix:
        any Unicode characters except \uFFFE, \uFFFF, and special characters
Suffix:
        any Unicode characters except \uFFFE, \uFFFF, and special characters
Number:
        Integer Exponentopt
        Integer . Fraction Exponentopt
Integer:
        MinimumInteger
        #
        # Integer
        # , Integer
MinimumInteger:
        0
        0 MinimumInteger
        0 , MinimumInteger
Fraction:
        MinimumFractionopt OptionalFractionopt
MinimumFraction:
        0 MinimumFractionopt
OptionalFraction:
        # OptionalFractionopt
Exponent:
        E MinimumExponent
MinimumExponent:
        0 MinimumExponentopt



A DecimalFormat pattern contains a positive and negative
subpattern, for example, "#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)".  Each
subpattern has a prefix, numeric part, and suffix. The negative subpattern
is optional; if absent, then the positive subpattern prefixed with the
localized minus sign ('-' in most locales) is used as the
negative subpattern. That is, "0.00" alone is equivalent to
"0.00;-0.00".  If there is an explicit negative subpattern, it
serves only to specify the negative prefix and suffix; the number of digits,
minimal digits, and other characteristics are all the same as the positive
pattern. That means that "#,##0.0#;(#)" produces precisely
the same behavior as "#,##0.0#;(#,##0.0#)".

The prefixes, suffixes, and various symbols used for infinity, digits,
thousands separators, decimal separators, etc. may be set to arbitrary
values, and they will appear properly during formatting.  However, care must
be taken that the symbols and strings do not conflict, or parsing will be
unreliable.  For example, either the positive and negative prefixes or the
suffixes must be distinct for DecimalFormat.parse() to be able
to distinguish positive from negative values.  (If they are identical, then
DecimalFormat will behave as if no negative subpattern was
specified.)  Another example is that the decimal separator and thousands
separator should be distinct characters, or parsing will be impossible.

The grouping separator is commonly used for thousands, but in some
countries it separates ten-thousands. The grouping size is a constant number
of digits between the grouping characters, such as 3 for 100,000,000 or 4 for
1,0000,0000.  If you supply a pattern with multiple grouping characters, the
interval between the last one and the end of the integer is the one that is
used. So "#,##,###,####" == "######,####" ==
"##,####,####".

Special Pattern Characters


Many characters in a pattern are taken literally; they are matched during
parsing and output unchanged during formatting.  Special characters, on the
other hand, stand for other characters, strings, or classes of characters.
They must be quoted, unless noted otherwise, if they are to appear in the
prefix or suffix as literals.

The characters listed here are used in non-localized patterns.  Localized
patterns use the corresponding characters taken from this formatter's
DecimalFormatSymbols object instead, and these characters lose
their special status.  Two exceptions are the currency sign and quote, which
are not localized.

             is used instead of the decimal separator.
    

         '
         Prefix or suffix
         No
         Used to quote special characters in a prefix or suffix,
             for example, "'#'#" formats 123 to
             "#123".  To create a single quote
             itself, use two in a row: "# o''clock".







Scientific Notation


Numbers in scientific notation are expressed as the product of a mantissa and a power of ten, for example, 1234 can be expressed as 1.234 x 10^3. The mantissa is often in the range 1.0 ≤ x < 10.0, but it need not be. DecimalFormat can be instructed to format and parse scientific
notation only via a pattern; there is currently no factory method
that creates a scientific notation format.  In a pattern, the exponent
character immediately followed by one or more digit characters indicates
scientific notation.  Example: "0.###E0" formats the number
1234 as "1.234E3".

    

  • The number of digit characters after the exponent character gives the
minimum exponent digit count.  There is no maximum.  Negative exponents are
formatted using the localized minus sign, not the prefix and suffix
from the pattern.  This allows patterns such as "0.###E0 m/s".

  • The minimum and maximum number of integer digits are interpreted
together:

      

    • If the maximum number of integer digits is greater than their minimum number
and greater than 1, it forces the exponent to be a multiple of the maximum
number of integer digits, and the minimum number of integer digits to be
interpreted as 1.  The most common use of this is to generate
engineering notation, in which the exponent is a multiple of three,
e.g., "##0.#####E0". Using this pattern, the number 12345
formats to "12.345E3", and 123456 formats to
"123.456E3".

    • Otherwise, the minimum number of integer digits is achieved by adjusting the
exponent.  Example: 0.00123 formatted with "00.###E0" yields
"12.3E-4".

    

  • The number of significant digits in the mantissa is the sum of the
minimum integer and maximum fraction digits, and is
unaffected by the maximum integer digits.  For example, 12345 formatted with
"##0.##E0" is "12.3E3". To show all digits, set
the significant digits count to zero.  The number of significant digits
does not affect parsing.

  • Exponential patterns may not contain grouping separators.



Rounding

DecimalFormat provides rounding modes defined in RoundingMode for formatting. By default, it uses RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN. 
Digits

For formatting, DecimalFormat uses the ten consecutive
characters starting with the localized zero digit defined in the
DecimalFormatSymbols object as digits. For parsing, these digits as well as all Unicode decimal digits, as defined by Character.digit, are recognized. 
Special Values


NaN is formatted as a string, which typically has a single character
\uFFFD.  This string is determined by the
DecimalFormatSymbols object.  This is the only value for which
the prefixes and suffixes are not used.

Infinity is formatted as a string, which typically has a single character
\u221E, with the positive or negative prefixes and suffixes
applied.  The infinity string is determined by the
DecimalFormatSymbols object.

Negative zero ("-0") parses to

    

  • BigDecimal(0) if isParseBigDecimal() is
true,

  • Long(0) if isParseBigDecimal() is false
    and isParseIntegerOnly() is true,

  • Double(-0.0) if both isParseBigDecimal()
and isParseIntegerOnly() are false.



Synchronization



Decimal formats are generally not synchronized.
It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
externally.

Example



<strong>// Print out a number using the localized number, integer, currency,
// and percent format for each locale</strong>
Locale[] locales = NumberFormat.getAvailableLocales();
double myNumber = -1234.56;
NumberFormat form;
for (int j = 0; j < 4; ++j) {
    System.out.println("FORMAT");
    for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; ++i) {
        if (locales[i].getCountry().length() == 0) {
           continue; // Skip language-only locales
        }
        System.out.print(locales[i].getDisplayName());
        switch (j) {
        case 0:
            form = NumberFormat.getInstance(locales[i]); break;
        case 1:
            form = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance(locales[i]); break;
        case 2:
            form = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locales[i]); break;
        default:
            form = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(locales[i]); break;
        }
        if (form instanceof DecimalFormat) {
            System.out.print(": " + ((DecimalFormat) form).toPattern());
        }
        System.out.print(" -> " + form.format(myNumber));
        try {
            System.out.println(" -> " + form.parse(form.format(myNumber)));
        } catch (ParseException e) {}
    }
 }

 * <code>"##0.##E0"</code> is <code>"12.3E3"</code>. To show all digits, set
 * the significant digits count to zero.  The number of significant digits
 * does not affect parsing.
 *
 * <li>Exponential patterns may not contain grouping separators.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h4>Rounding</h4>
 *
 * <code>DecimalFormat</code> provides rounding modes defined in
 * {@link java.math.RoundingMode} for formatting.  By default, it uses
 * {@link java.math.RoundingMode#HALF_EVEN RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN}.
 *
 * <h4>Digits</h4>
 *
 * For formatting, <code>DecimalFormat</code> uses the ten consecutive
 * characters starting with the localized zero digit defined in the
 * <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object as digits. For parsing, these
 * digits as well as all Unicode decimal digits, as defined by
 * {@link Character#digit Character.digit}, are recognized.
 *
 * <h4>Special Values</h4>
 *
 * <p><code>NaN</code> is formatted as a string, which typically has a single character
 * <code>&#92;uFFFD</code>.  This string is determined by the
 * <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object.  This is the only value for which
 * the prefixes and suffixes are not used.
 *
 * <p>Infinity is formatted as a string, which typically has a single character
 * <code>&#92;u221E</code>, with the positive or negative prefixes and suffixes
 * applied.  The infinity string is determined by the
 * <code>DecimalFormatSymbols</code> object.
 *
 * <p>Negative zero (<code>"-0"</code>) parses to
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>BigDecimal(0)</code> if <code>isParseBigDecimal()</code> is
 * true,
 * <li><code>Long(0)</code> if <code>isParseBigDecimal()</code> is false
 *     and <code>isParseIntegerOnly()</code> is true,
 * <li><code>Double(-0.0)</code> if both <code>isParseBigDecimal()</code>
 * and <code>isParseIntegerOnly()</code> are false.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h4><a id="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
 *
 * <p>
 * Decimal formats are generally not synchronized.
 * It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
 * If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
 * externally.
 *
 * <h4>Example</h4>
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>{@code
 * <strong>// Print out a number using the localized number, integer, currency,
 * // and percent format for each locale</strong>
 * Locale[] locales = NumberFormat.getAvailableLocales();
 * double myNumber = -1234.56;
 * NumberFormat form;
 * for (int j = 0; j < 4; ++j) {
 *     System.out.println("FORMAT");
 *     for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; ++i) {
 *         if (locales[i].getCountry().length() == 0) {
 *            continue; // Skip language-only locales
 *         }
 *         System.out.print(locales[i].getDisplayName());
 *         switch (j) {
 *         case 0:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         case 1:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         case 2:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         default:
 *             form = NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(locales[i]); break;
 *         }
 *         if (form instanceof DecimalFormat) {
 *             System.out.print(": " + ((DecimalFormat) form).toPattern());
 *         }
 *         System.out.print(" -> " + form.format(myNumber));
 *         try {
 *             System.out.println(" -> " + form.parse(form.format(myNumber)));

    // ==== Begin fast-path formating logic for double =========================

    /* Fast-path formatting will be used for format(double ...) methods iff a
     * number of conditions are met (see checkAndSetFastPathStatus()):
     * - Only if instance properties meet the right predefined conditions.
     * - The abs value of the double to format is <= Integer.MAX_VALUE.
     *
     * The basic approach is to split the binary to decimal conversion of a
     * double value into two phases:
     * * The conversion of the integer portion of the double.
     * * The conversion of the fractional portion of the double
     *   (limited to two or three digits).
     *
     * The isolation and conversion of the integer portion of the double is
     * straightforward. The conversion of the fraction is more subtle and relies
     * on some rounding properties of double to the decimal precisions in
     * question.  Using the terminology of BigDecimal, this fast-path algorithm
     * is applied when a double value has a magnitude less than Integer.MAX_VALUE
     * and rounding is to nearest even and the destination format has two or
     * three digits of *scale* (digits after the decimal point).
     *
     * Under a rounding to nearest even policy, the returned result is a digit
     * string of a number in the (in this case decimal) destination format
     * closest to the exact numerical value of the (in this case binary) input
     * value.  If two destination format numbers are equally distant, the one
     * with the last digit even is returned.  To compute such a correctly rounded
     * value, some information about digits beyond the smallest returned digit
     * position needs to be consulted.
     *
     * In general, a guard digit, a round digit, and a sticky *bit* are needed
     * beyond the returned digit position.  If the discarded portion of the input
     * is sufficiently large, the returned digit string is incremented.  In round
     * to nearest even, this threshold to increment occurs near the half-way
     * point between digits.  The sticky bit records if there are any remaining
     * trailing digits of the exact input value in the new format; the sticky bit
     * is consulted only in close to half-way rounding cases.
     *
     * Given the computation of the digit and bit values, rounding is then
     * reduced to a table lookup problem.  For decimal, the even/odd cases look
     * like this:
     *
     * Last   Round   Sticky
     * 6      5       0      => 6   // exactly halfway, return even digit.
     * 6      5       1      => 7   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     * 7      5       0      => 8   // exactly halfway, round up to even.
     * 7      5       1      => 8   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     * With analogous entries for other even and odd last-returned digits.
     *
     * However, decimal negative powers of 5 smaller than 0.5 are *not* exactly
     * representable as binary fraction.  In particular, 0.005 (the round limit
     * for a two-digit scale) and 0.0005 (the round limit for a three-digit
     * scale) are not representable. Therefore, for input values near these cases
     * the sticky bit is known to be set which reduces the rounding logic to:
     *
     * Last   Round   Sticky
     * 6      5       1      => 7   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     * 7      5       1      => 8   // a little bit more than halfway, round up.
     *
     * In other words, if the round digit is 5, the sticky bit is known to be
     * set.  If the round digit is something other than 5, the sticky bit is not
     * relevant.  Therefore, some of the logic about whether or not to increment
     * the destination *decimal* value can occur based on tests of *binary*
     * computations of the binary input number.

properties of the instance, since for most properties, each time a change
happens, a call to this method is needed at the next format call.
FAST-PATH RULES:
 Similar to the default DecimalFormat instantiation case.
 More precisely:
 - HALF_EVEN rounding mode,
 - isGroupingUsed() is true,
 - groupingSize of 3,
 - multiplier is 1,
 - Decimal separator not mandatory,
 - No use of exponential notation,

Returns true if rounding-up must be done on scaledFractionalPartAsInt, false otherwise. This is a utility method that takes correct half-even rounding decision on passed fractional value at the scaled decimal point (2 digits for currency case and 3 for decimal case), when the approximated fractional part after scaled decimal point is exactly 0.5d. This is done by means of exact calculations on the fractionalPart floating-point value. This method is supposed to be called by private fastDoubleFormat method only. The algorithms used for the exact calculations are : The FastTwoSum algorithm, from T.J.Dekker, described in the
papers  "A  Floating-Point   Technique  for  Extending  the  Available
Precision"  by Dekker, and  in "Adaptive  Precision Floating-Point
Arithmetic and Fast Robust Geometric Predicates" from J.Shewchuk.
A modified version of Sum2S cascaded summation described in
"Accurate Sum and Dot Product" from Takeshi Ogita and All.  As
Ogita says in this paper this is an equivalent of the Kahan-Babuska's
summation algorithm because we order the terms by magnitude before summing
them. For this reason we can use the FastTwoSum algorithm rather
than the more expensive Knuth's TwoSum.
We do this to avoid a more expensive exact "TwoProduct" algorithm,
like those described in Shewchuk's paper above. See comments in the code
below.

Params:
  • fractionalPart – The  fractional value  on which  we  take rounding
decision.

Parses text from a string to produce a Number.


The method attempts to parse text starting at the index given by
pos.
If parsing succeeds, then the index of pos is updated
to the index after the last character used (parsing does not necessarily
use all characters up to the end of the string), and the parsed
number is returned. The updated pos can be used to
indicate the starting point for the next call to this method.
If an error occurs, then the index of pos is not
changed, the error index of pos is set to the index of
the character where the error occurred, and null is returned.

 The subclass returned depends on the value of isParseBigDecimal as well as on the string being parsed. 
    
  
  • If isParseBigDecimal() is false (the default),
      most integer values are returned as Long
      objects, no matter how they are written: "17" and
      "17.000" both parse to Long(17).
      Values that cannot fit into a Long are returned as
      Doubles. This includes values with a fractional part,
      infinite values, NaN, and the value -0.0.
      DecimalFormat does not decide whether to
      return a Double or a Long based on the
      presence of a decimal separator in the source string. Doing so
      would prevent integers that overflow the mantissa of a double,
      such as "-9,223,372,036,854,775,808.00", from being
      parsed accurately.
      
    
      Callers may use the Number methods
      doubleValue, longValue, etc., to obtain
      the type they want.
  
  • If isParseBigDecimal() is true, values are returned
      as BigDecimal objects. The values are the ones constructed by BigDecimal(String) for corresponding strings in locale-independent format. The special cases negative and positive infinity and NaN are returned as Double instances holding the values of the
      corresponding Double constants.




DecimalFormat parses all Unicode characters that represent
decimal digits, as defined by Character.digit(). In
addition, DecimalFormat also recognizes as digits the ten
consecutive characters starting with the localized zero digit defined in
the DecimalFormatSymbols object.

Params:
  • text – the string to be parsed
  • pos –  A ParsePosition object with index and error
            index information as described above.
Throws:
Returns:    the parsed value, or null if the parse fails

Apply the given pattern to this Format object.  A pattern is a
short-hand specification for the various formatting properties.
These properties can also be changed individually through the
various setter methods.


There is no limit to integer digits set
by this routine, since that is the typical end-user desire;
use setMaximumInteger if you want to set a real value.
For negative numbers, use a second pattern, separated by a semicolon

Example "#,#00.0#" → 1,234.56

This means a minimum of 2 integer digits, 1 fraction digit, and
a maximum of 2 fraction digits.

Example: "#,#00.0#;(#,#00.0#)" for negatives in
parentheses.

In negative patterns, the minimum and maximum counts are ignored;
these are presumed to be set in the positive pattern.

Reads the default serializable fields from the stream and performs
validations and adjustments for older serialized versions. The
validations and adjustments are:

    

  1. 
Verify that the superclass's digit count fields correctly reflect
the limits imposed on formatting numbers other than
BigInteger and BigDecimal objects. These
limits are stored in the superclass for serialization compatibility
with older versions, while the limits for BigInteger and
BigDecimal objects are kept in this class.
If, in the superclass, the minimum or maximum integer digit count is
larger than DOUBLE_INTEGER_DIGITS or if the minimum or
maximum fraction digit count is larger than
DOUBLE_FRACTION_DIGITS, then the stream data is invalid
and this method throws an InvalidObjectException.

  2. 
If serialVersionOnStream is less than 4, initialize
roundingMode to 
RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN. This field is new with version 4. 
  3. 
If serialVersionOnStream is less than 3, then call
the setters for the minimum and maximum integer and fraction digits with
the values of the corresponding superclass getters to initialize the
fields in this class. The fields in this class are new with version 3.

  4. 
If serialVersionOnStream is less than 1, indicating that
the stream was written by JDK 1.1, initialize
useExponentialNotation
to false, since it was not present in JDK 1.1.

  5. 
Set serialVersionOnStream to the maximum allowed value so
that default serialization will work properly if this object is streamed
out again.



Stream versions older than 2 will not have the affix pattern variables
posPrefixPattern etc.  As a result, they will be initialized
to null, which means the affix strings will be taken as
literal values.  This is exactly what we want, since that corresponds to
the pre-version-2 behavior.

The internal serial version which says which version was written.
Possible values are:

    

  • 0 (default): versions before the Java 2 platform v1.2

  • 1: version for 1.2, which includes the two new fields
     useExponentialNotation and
     minExponentDigits.

  • 2: version for 1.3 and later, which adds four new fields:
     posPrefixPattern, posSuffixPattern,
     negPrefixPattern, and negSuffixPattern.

  • 3: version for 1.5 and later, which adds five new fields:
     maximumIntegerDigits,
     minimumIntegerDigits,
     maximumFractionDigits,
     minimumFractionDigits, and
     parseBigDecimal.

  • 4: version for 1.6 and later, which adds one new field:
