I should also mention that I tried this as well...
public static void main(String[] args)
{
DecimalFormat dollarFormat = new DecimalFormat("$#0.00");
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.815));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.825));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.835));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.845));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.855));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.865));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.875));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.885));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.895));
}
It gives the same exact results. Everything is fine as long as it's not a 5
in the 1000ths position.

Subject: OT: Java help
Can anyone lend a hand with this off-list by chance? I need a dollarformat
function in Java. I thought I had it but it doesnt round correctly. Take
this short example.
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class dollarFormattingTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
NumberFormat dollarFormat =
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.715));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.725));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.735));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.745));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.755));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.765));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.775));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.785));
System.out.println(dollarFormat.format(71.795));
}
}
That short program outputs the following
$71.72
$71.72
$71.74
$71.74
$71.76
$71.76
$71.78
$71.78
$71.80
If I change all the numbers to put a 6 in the 1000ths position, compile, and
run again they all round up fine just as they should. And anything under a 5
in that position seems fine as well (the 1000ths position is simply
dropped).
Any ideas?
