Round a double to 2 places of Decimal

[Angela lewis]

I have a double value which is multiplied by another value. I want that the result be in only 2 places of decimal rather than the unnecessary precision i am getting.
please suggest.

You can use java.text.NumberFormat class to do so.
You can find the help regarding that from :

Hi,
Perhaps the most simple, but not very subtle solution would be: multiply by 100, call Math.round(double), cast to double and divide by 100.
long story short, something like this:
roundeDoubleValue = (double)Math.round(someDoubleValue*100)/100;
But there might be a better solution though
