Number Format

[madhu v pe]

Hi,

I am having two formatted numbers to be added Limit1 and Limit2
String Limit1=7,500.00;
String Limit2=7,000.00;
I have to add these two and get the result as 14,500.00

I followed the normal procedure with for loop and sustring.
my code is
String aloplimit1="";
for(int i=0;i<Limit1.length();i++)
{
if(!(Limit1.substring(i,i+1)).equals(",") && !(Limit1.substring(i,i+1)).equals("."))
aloplimit1+=Limit1.substring(i,i+1);
}
int aLimit=Integer.parseInt(aloplimit1);
same for Limit2
---
---
int bLimit=Integer.parseInt(aloplimit2);
int limit= aLimit+bLimit;
then formatted limit.

Please can any one tell me is there anyway to do this using numbers formatting with out writing lengthy code??

Thanks

Hi Madhu,

Does this code satisfies your need,

 
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
 
public class DemoFormat {
 
public static void main(String... args) throws Exception{
String Limit1="$7,500.00";
String Limit2="$7,000.00";

Locale[] locs = NumberFormat.getAvailableLocales();

double d1 =7500.0;
NumberFormat nf=null;

nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);
System.out.println(nf.parse(Limit1).doubleValue() + nf.parse(Limit2).doubleValue());

}
}

I am looking forward to more specific solution!!!
