DecimalFormat("00E00") in Java

DecimalFormat is a concrete subclass of NumberFormat that formats decimal numbers.

Let us set DecimalFormat("00E00") first.

Format f = new DecimalFormat("00E00");

Now, we will format a number and display the result in a string using the format() method −

String res = f.format(-5977.3427);

Since, we have used both Format and DecimalFormat class in Java, therefore importing the following packages in a must −

import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.Format;

The following the complete example −

      Format f = new DecimalFormat("00E00");
      String res = f.format(-5977.3427);
      System.out.println(res);
   }
}
