Java: Currency symbol based on ISO 4217 currency cod

Question

Below program prints the Currency symbol given the ISO 4217 currency code.

import java.util.*;

public class Currency{

    public static void main(String args[]         


        

Answer 1

Currency.getSymbol() returns the currency symbol relative to the default locale.

Gets the symbol of this currency for the default locale. For example, for the US Dollar, the symbol is "$" if the default locale is the US, while for other locales it may be "US$". If no symbol can be determined, the ISO 4217 currency code is returned.

Use Currency.getSymbol(Locale locale) if you want the symbol for a different locale.

System.out.println(
   Currency.getInstance("USD").getSymbol(Locale.US)
);
// prints $

System.out.println(
   Currency.getInstance("USD").getSymbol(Locale.FRANCE)
);
// prints USD

System.out.println(
   Currency.getInstance("EUR").getSymbol(Locale.US)
);
// prints EUR

System.out.println(
   Currency.getInstance("EUR").getSymbol(Locale.FRANCE)
);
// prints €
