I have a GUI Java code for calculating the range of data for example if two values entered 2.444
and 3.555
the result will be a long double 1.11100000...
etc. How do I specify how many digits after the decimal point it should display? (ex: %.2f
)
This is my code:
public class Range
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int num=0; //number of data
double d; //the data
double smallest = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
double largest = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
double range = 0;
String Num =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the number of data ");
num=Integer.parseInt(Num);
for(int i=0; i<num; i++)
{
String D =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the data ");
d=Double.parseDouble(D);
if(d < smallest)
smallest = d;
if(d > largest)
largest = d;
}
range = largest - smallest ; //calculating the range of the input
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Range = "+smallest+"-"+largest+" = "+range,"Range",JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
}
}
You can use String.format to define the output you like, e.g.
String.format("Range = %.4f", range)
to show 4 decimal places.
