How to do this?? :<

public String toString(){

return "\nAccount ID: "+acct_id+"\nBalance:$ "+balance+"\nAccount Owner "+owner.toString();

}

can i alter something there to make it print to 2 d.p?

you can also use NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() for formatting currency

Look up DecimalFormat object. It should look like this (don't forget to import decimal format class at top):




This will print out 5.55 but you can change it to 0.000 passing in to decimalformat to change how many decimal places you want.


You then have to override the toString method and print out just your number. Do not forget to use @Override annotation as it helps the compiler.



Assuming Owner is the one you want to format. I changed owner.toString to the decimal formatting of myNum which i used in the example above.

thanks man, got it
