Format numbers using DecimalFormat

[fthibaut]

Hi,

I'm trying to use DecimalFormat to format numbers according to the current locale. I don't understand why I don't have the output that I expect.
The code I'm using looks like this :

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##0"
String output = df.format(5.0);
System.out.println(value + " " + pattern + " " + output);

I was expecting to have the number formatted like that : 5,000
What I get is : 5,0

Is it a bug or am I missing something ?

Thanks in advance.

As far as i read in the java doc, the # defines that the value can be absent. If you'll use the pattern "0.000" will be convert 5,0 -> 5,000.

Hope this helps,
Steven.

You're right, my pattern was not correct...

Thank you,
