Using Math.round to round to one decimal place?

Question

I have these two variables

double num = 540.512 double sum = 1978.8 

Then I did this expression

double total = Math.round((num/ sum * 100) * 10) / 10; 

but I end up with 27.0.

In fact I have many other variables and when I use them in the expression I always get a 0 in the tenth's place.

Answer 1

Helpful method I created a while ago...

private static double round (double value, int precision) {     int scale = (int) Math.pow(10, precision);     return (double) Math.round(value * scale) / scale; } 

Answer 2

try this

for example

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##"); df.format(55.544545); 

output:

55.54
