Java – Display double in 2 decimal points

This article shows you a few examples to display a double variable in 2 decimal points format.

1. DecimalFormat example

TestDouble.java

package com.mkyong.test;

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class TestDouble{

    private static DecimalFormat df2 = new DecimalFormat(".##");

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        double input = 32.123456;
        System.out.println("double : " + input);
        System.out.println("double : " + df2.format(input));

    }

}

Output

double : 32.123456
double : 32.12

By default, DecimalFormat uses RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN.

TestDouble.java

package com.mkyong.test;

import java.math.RoundingMode;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class TestDouble {

    private static DecimalFormat df2 = new DecimalFormat(".##");

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        double input = 32.123456;
        System.out.println("double : " + input);
        System.out.println("double (default) : " + df2.format(input));

        df2.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.UP);
        System.out.println("double (UP) : " + df2.format(input));

        df2.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.DOWN);
        System.out.println("double (DOWN) : " + df2.format(input));

    }

}

Output

double : 32.123456
double (default) : 32.12
double (UP) : 32.13
double (DOWN) : 32.12

2. String.format example

TestDouble.java

package com.mkyong.loan;

public class Test{

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        double input = 32.123456;
        System.out.println("double : " + input);
        System.out.println("double : " + String.format("%.2f", input));

    }

}

Output

double : 32.123456
double : 32.12
