How to create a code in java?

Write an expression (or several expressions) that will round the variable x to 2 decimal places. It should work for any value that is stored in x. This should not produce a String, it must produce an actual double value! Just printing out the rounded value is not enough, the rounded value must be stored back in a double variable.

For example:

double x = 123.25032;

double z = [YOUR EXPRESSION HERE]

Your expression should result in z == 123.25.

If x = 52.118907, then z == 52.12.

If x = 9.4512, then z == 9.45.

If x = 9.455, then z == 9.46.

    import java.text.DecimalFormat;

    class Carl {

    public static void main(String[] carl){

    DecimalFormat dd = new DecimalFormat("#.##");

    double d = 1.2345;

    System.out.println(dd.format(d));

    }

    }

    Source(s): The method I described is the correct way to do it. It is senseless to write your own method when there is a perfectly good built in function

    I was kind of wondering about that myself, because Math.round doesn't let you specify decimal digits, it just always gives you the whole number portion

    here's *a* way to do it, it's kind of a hack but if nothing better comes up it's something

    double x = 3.14159;

    double z = Math.round(x);

    double r=x-z;

    r*=100;

    r=Math.round(r);

    z=z + (r/100);

    I do not think the Math.round method will work here, so I would make my own rounding function.

    // First argument is the number, second is how many places you want it to round at

    public static double Round(double num, int places)

    {

    double power = (double)Math.pow(10, places);

    num = num * power;

    float temp = Math.round(num);

    return (double)temp/power;

    }

    With this you could do....

    double z = Round( x, 2);
