The following code:
String a = "100.00";
String b = "10.00";
String c= "5.00";
String value = a+ "\n"+ b +"\n" +c;
System.out.println(value);
Prints:
100.00
10.00
5.00
I need output in a format where decimal point position will be fixed without using any string format library (with logic):
100.00
10.00
5.00
Variable values are coming from the database and requirement is to show values with the decimal point in the same position with values vertically.
Here's an example using streams; probably could be more efficient but I was having fun.
It assumes all have 2 decimals as you showed, just FYI; that could be modified though.
String a = "100.00";
String b = "10.00";
String c= "5.00";
List<String> strings = Arrays.asList(a, b, c);
final int maxLen = strings.stream().map(String::length).reduce(Math::max).get();
strings.forEach(s -> {
System.out.println(Stream.generate(() -> " ").limit(maxLen - s.length()).collect(Collectors.joining()) + s);
});
Results:
100.00
10.00
5.00
I also put pthe 3 examples into a list so it would work on an arbitrary number of elements.
Without Java 8
String a = "100.00";
String b = "10.00";
String c = "5.00";
List<String> strings = Arrays.asList(a, b, c);
int maxLen = -1;
for (String s : strings) maxLen = Math.max(maxLen, s.length());
for (String s : strings) {
String spaces = "";
for (int i = 0; i < maxLen - s.length(); ++i) {
spaces += " ";
}
System.out.println(spaces += s);
}
I don't know what 'don't use any String format library' means specifically, but... now we get into a semantic argument as to what 'library' means. You're formatting a string. If I take your question on face value you're asking for literally the impossible: How does one format a string without formatting a string?
I'm going to assume you meant: Without adding a third party dependency.
In which case, if you have doubles
(or BigDecimal
or float
) as input:
String.format("%6.2f", 100.00);
String.format("%6.2f", 10.00);
String.format("%6.2f", 5.00);
(6? Yes; 6! The 6 is the total # of characters to print at minimum. You want 3 digits before the separator, a separator, and 2 digits after, that's a grand total of 6, hence the 6.)
If you have strings as input, evidently you are asking to right-justify them? Well, you can do that:
String.format("%6s", "100.00");
String.format("%6s", "10.00");
String.format("%6s", "5.00");
NB: For convenience, System.out.printf("%6s\\n", "100.0");
is short for System.out.println(String.format("%6s", "100.0"));
