You might consider using the NumberFormat class. It lets you format
numbers based on the default locale (or a specified locale):
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
fmt.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
fmt.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
String numstr = fmt.format(yournumber);
If you're printing currency, try:
NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
String numstr = fmt.format(yournumber);

> Hi All,
> I am using a float variable in a JSP to total some values. Once totaled
> I use the variable on the out display. When I have two non-zero values
> to the right of the decimal it shows fine, i.e 1.53. When my last digit
> is a zero it shows, 1.5, leaving off the trailing zero. I have looked
> and can't seem to find an Object or variable type I can convert this to,
> just prior to its display to get the trailing zero to print.
>
> Thanks for any help given.
