For a project I have a program that is like a bank. The "bank" reads in a file with accounts in it that look like this:
Miller
William
00001
891692 06 <----string that needs to be converted to double
The last string has to be converted to a double so that the program can perform calculations on it like addition and subtraction, etc.
And also I have to print it out in monetary format, i.e. $891692.06
I have this so far:
public class Account {
private String firstName, lastName;
private int accountID;
private String currentBalance;
private static int maxAccountID;
public Account(String fN, String lN, int acct, String bal) {
firstName = fN; lastName = lN;
accountID = acct;
currentBalance = bal;
if(accountID > Account.maxAccountID)
Account.maxAccountID = accountID;
}
public double getBalance(){
String [] s = currentBalance.split(" ");
String balStr = "$"+s[0]+"."+s[1];
double currentBalance = Double.parseDouble(balStr);
return currentBalance;
}
}
Thanks in advance!
If your string representing double
uses space ' '
instead of a decimal point, you can fix it by replacing the space with a dot, like this:
String currentBalanceStr = "891692 06";
double currentBalanceDbl = Double.parseDouble(currentBalanceStr.replaceAll(" ","."));
