Java floating point math - (conversion for feet/meters)

Question

Pretty basic question I think - I\'m performing this function:

private double convertMetersToFeet(double meters)
{
  //function converts Feet to Meters.
             


        

Answer 1

If you need precise calculations, use BigDecimal instead of float. If you just want to truncate on printing, use DecimalFormat.

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat ("0.00");
System.out.println(df.format(convertMetersToFeet(101)));
