How to go about formatting 1200 to 1.2k in java

Question

I'd like to format following numbers into the numbers next to them with java:

1000 to 1k
5821 to 5.8k
10500 to 10k
101800 to 101k
2000000 to 2m
7800000 to 7.8m
92150000 to 92m
123200000 to 123m

The number on the right will be long or integer the number on the left will be string. How should I approach this. I already did little algorithm for this but I thought there might be already something invented out there that does nicer job at it and doesn't require additional testing if I start dealing with billions and trillions :)

Additional Requirements:

• The format should have maximum of 4 characters
• The above means 1.1k is OK 11.2k is not. Same for 7.8m is OK 19.1m is not. Only one digit before decimal point is allowed to have decimal point. Two digits before decimal point means not digits after decimal point.
• No rounding is necessary. (Numbers being displayed with k and m appended are more of analog gauge indicating approximation not precise article of logic. Hence rounding is irrelevant mainly due to nature of variable than can increase or decrees several digits even while you are looking at the cached result.)

Answer 1

Here is a solution that works for any long value and that I find quite readable (the core logic is done in the bottom three lines of the format method).

It leverages TreeMap to find the appropriate suffix. It is surprisingly more efficient than a previous solution I wrote that was using arrays and was more difficult to read.

private static final NavigableMap<Long, String> suffixes = new TreeMap<> ();
static {
  suffixes.put(1_000L, "k");
  suffixes.put(1_000_000L, "M");
  suffixes.put(1_000_000_000L, "G");
  suffixes.put(1_000_000_000_000L, "T");
  suffixes.put(1_000_000_000_000_000L, "P");
  suffixes.put(1_000_000_000_000_000_000L, "E");
}

public static String format(long value) {
  //Long.MIN_VALUE == -Long.MIN_VALUE so we need an adjustment here
  if (value == Long.MIN_VALUE) return format(Long.MIN_VALUE + 1);
  if (value < 0) return "-" + format(-value);
  if (value < 1000) return Long.toString(value); //deal with easy case

  Entry<Long, String> e = suffixes.floorEntry(value);
  Long divideBy = e.getKey();
  String suffix = e.getValue();

  long truncated = value / (divideBy / 10); //the number part of the output times 10
  boolean hasDecimal = truncated < 100 && (truncated / 10d) != (truncated / 10);
  return hasDecimal ? (truncated / 10d) + suffix : (truncated / 10) + suffix;
}

Test code

public static void main(String args[]) {
  long[] numbers = {0, 5, 999, 1_000, -5_821, 10_500, -101_800, 2_000_000, -7_800_000, 92_150_000, 123_200_000, 9_999_999, 999_999_999_999_999_999L, 1_230_000_000_000_000L, Long.MIN_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE};
  String[] expected = {"0", "5", "999", "1k", "-5.8k", "10k", "-101k", "2M", "-7.8M", "92M", "123M", "9.9M", "999P", "1.2P", "-9.2E", "9.2E"};
  for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
    long n = numbers[i];
    String formatted = format(n);
    System.out.println(n + " => " + formatted);
    if (!formatted.equals(expected[i])) throw new AssertionError("Expected: " + expected[i] + " but found: " + formatted);
  }
}

Answer 2

I know, this looks more like a C program, but it's super lightweight!

public static void main(String args[]) {
    long[] numbers = new long[]{1000, 5821, 10500, 101800, 2000000, 7800000, 92150000, 123200000, 9999999};
    for(long n : numbers) {
        System.out.println(n + " => " + coolFormat(n, 0));
    }
}

private static char[] c = new char[]{'k', 'm', 'b', 't'};

/**
 * Recursive implementation, invokes itself for each factor of a thousand, increasing the class on each invokation.
 * @param n the number to format
 * @param iteration in fact this is the class from the array c
 * @return a String representing the number n formatted in a cool looking way.
 */
private static String coolFormat(double n, int iteration) {
    double d = ((long) n / 100) / 10.0;
    boolean isRound = (d * 10) %10 == 0;//true if the decimal part is equal to 0 (then it's trimmed anyway)
    return (d < 1000? //this determines the class, i.e. 'k', 'm' etc
        ((d > 99.9 || isRound || (!isRound && d > 9.99)? //this decides whether to trim the decimals
         (int) d * 10 / 10 : d + "" // (int) d * 10 / 10 drops the decimal
         ) + "" + c[iteration]) 
        : coolFormat(d, iteration+1));

}

It outputs:

1000 => 1k
5821 => 5.8k
10500 => 10k
101800 => 101k
2000000 => 2m
7800000 => 7.8m
92150000 => 92m
123200000 => 123m
9999999 => 9.9m

Answer 3

Here a solution that makes use of DecimalFormat's engineering notation:

public static void main(String args[]) {
    long[] numbers = new long[]{7, 12, 856, 1000, 5821, 10500, 101800, 2000000, 7800000, 92150000, 123200000, 9999999};
    for(long number : numbers) {
        System.out.println(number + " = " + format(number));
    }
}

private static String[] suffix = new String[]{"","k", "m", "b", "t"};
private static int MAX_LENGTH = 4;

private static String format(double number) {
    String r = new DecimalFormat("##0E0").format(number);
    r = r.replaceAll("E[0-9]", suffix[Character.getNumericValue(r.charAt(r.length() - 1)) / 3]);
    while(r.length() > MAX_LENGTH || r.matches("[0-9]+\\.[a-z]")){
        r = r.substring(0, r.length()-2) + r.substring(r.length() - 1);
    }
    return r;
}

Output:

7 = 7
12 = 12
856 = 856
1000 = 1k
5821 = 5.8k
10500 = 10k
101800 = 102k
2000000 = 2m
7800000 = 7.8m
92150000 = 92m
123200000 = 123m
9999999 = 10m

Answer 4

Need some improvement, but: StrictMath to the rescue!
You can put the suffix in a String or array and fetch'em based on power, or something like that.
The division can also be managed around the power, i think almost everything is about the power value. Hope it helps!

public static String formatValue(double value) {
int power; 
    String suffix = " kmbt";
    String formattedNumber = "";

    NumberFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("#,###.#");
    power = (int)StrictMath.log10(value);
    value = value/(Math.pow(10,(power/3)*3));
    formattedNumber=formatter.format(value);
    formattedNumber = formattedNumber + suffix.charAt(power/3);
    return formattedNumber.length()>4 ?  formattedNumber.replaceAll("\\.[0-9]+", "") : formattedNumber;  
}

outputs:

999
1.2k
98k
911k
1.1m
11b
712b
34t

Answer 5

With Java-12 +, you can use NumberFormat.getCompactNumberInstance to format the numbers. You can create a NumberFormat first as

NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCompactNumberInstance(Locale.US, NumberFormat.Style.SHORT);

and then use it to format:

fmt.format(1000)
$5 ==> "1K"

fmt.format(10000000)
$9 ==> "10M"

fmt.format(1000000000)
$11 ==> "1B"

Answer 6

Problems with Current Answers

• Many of the current solutions are using these prefixes k=10³, m=10⁶, b=10⁹, t=10¹². However, according to various sources, the correct prefixes are k=10³, M=10⁶, G=10⁹, T=10¹²
• Lack of support for negative numbers (or at least a lack of tests demonstrating that negative numbers are supported)
• Lack of support for the inverse operation, e.g. converting 1.1k to 1100 (though this is outside the scope of the original question)

Answer 7

My function for convert big number to small number (with 2 digits). You can change the number of digits by change #.## in DecimalFormat

public String formatValue(float value) {
    String arr[] = {"", "K", "M", "B", "T", "P", "E"};
    int index = 0;
    while ((value / 1000) >= 1) {
        value = value / 1000;
        index++;
    }
    DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
    return String.format("%s %s", decimalFormat.format(value), arr[index]);
}

Testing

System.out.println(formatValue(100));     //  100
System.out.println(formatValue(1000));    // 1 K
System.out.println(formatValue(10345));   // 10.35 K
System.out.println(formatValue(10012));   // 10.01 K
System.out.println(formatValue(123456));  // 123.46 K
System.out.println(formatValue(4384324)); // 4.38 M
System.out.println(formatValue(10000000)); // 10 M
System.out.println(formatValue(Long.MAX_VALUE)); // 9.22 E

Hope it help

Answer 8

The ICU lib has a rule based formatter for numbers, which can be used for number spellout etc. I think using ICU would give you a readable and maintanable solution.

[Usage]

The right class is RuleBasedNumberFormat. The format itself can be stored as separate file (or as String constant, IIRC).

Example from http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/numbers

double num = 2718.28;
NumberFormat formatter = 
    new RuleBasedNumberFormat(RuleBasedNumberFormat.SPELLOUT);
String result = formatter.format(num);
System.out.println(result);

The same page shows Roman numerals, so I guess your case should be possible, too.

Here's a short implementation without recursion and just a very small loop. Doesn't work with negative numbers but supports all positive longs up to Long.MAX_VALUE:

private static final char[] SUFFIXES = {'k', 'm', 'g', 't', 'p', 'e' };

public static String format(long number) {
    if(number < 1000) {
        // No need to format this
        return String.valueOf(number);
    }
    // Convert to a string
    final String string = String.valueOf(number);
    // The suffix we're using, 1-based
    final int magnitude = (string.length() - 1) / 3;
    // The number of digits we must show before the prefix
    final int digits = (string.length() - 1) % 3 + 1;

    // Build the string
    char[] value = new char[4];
    for(int i = 0; i < digits; i++) {
        value[i] = string.charAt(i);
    }
    int valueLength = digits;
    // Can and should we add a decimal point and an additional number?
    if(digits == 1 && string.charAt(1) != '0') {
        value[valueLength++] = '.';
        value[valueLength++] = string.charAt(1);
    }
    value[valueLength++] = SUFFIXES[magnitude - 1];
    return new String(value, 0, valueLength);
}

Outputs:

1k
5.8k
10k
101k
2m
7.8m
92m
123m
9.2e (this is Long.MAX_VALUE)

I also did some really simple benchmarking (formatting 10 million random longs) and it's considerably faster than Elijah's implementation and slightly faster than assylias' implementation.

Mine: 1137.028 ms
Elijah's: 2664.396 ms
assylias': 1373.473 ms

Answer 10

Important: Answers casting to double will fail for numbers like 99999999999999999L and return 100P instead of 99P because double uses the IEEE standard:

If a decimal string with at most 15 significant digits is converted to IEEE 754 double precision representation and then converted back to a string with the same number of significant digits, then the final string should match the original. [long has up to 19 significant digits.]

System.out.println((long)(double)99999999999999992L); // 100000000000000000
System.out.println((long)(double)99999999999999991L); //  99999999999999984
// it is even worse for the logarithm:
System.out.println(Math.log10(99999999999999600L)); // 17.0
System.out.println(Math.log10(99999999999999500L)); // 16.999999999999996

This solution cuts off unwanted digits and works for all long values. Simple but performant implementation (comparison below). -120k can't be expressed with 4 characters, even -0.1M is too long, that's why for negative numbers 5 characters have to be okay:

private static final char[] magnitudes = {'k', 'M', 'G', 'T', 'P', 'E'}; // enough for long

public static final String convert(long number) {
    String ret;
    if (number >= 0) {
        ret = "";
    } else if (number <= -9200000000000000000L) {
        return "-9.2E";
    } else {
        ret = "-";
        number = -number;
    }
    if (number < 1000)
        return ret + number;
    for (int i = 0; ; i++) {
        if (number < 10000 && number % 1000 >= 100)
            return ret + (number / 1000) + '.' + ((number % 1000) / 100) + magnitudes[i];
        number /= 1000;
        if (number < 1000)
            return ret + number + magnitudes[i];
    }
}

The test in the else if at the beginning is necessairy because the min is -(2^63) and the max is (2^63)-1 and therefore the assignment number = -number would fail if number == Long.MIN_VALUE. If we have to do a check, then we can as well include as many numbers as possible instead of just checking for number == Long.MIN_VALUE.

The comparison of this implementation with the one who got the most upvotes (said to be the fastest currently) showed that it is more than 5 times faster (it depends on the test settings, but with more numbers the gain gets bigger and this implementation has to do more checks because it handles all cases, so if the other one would be fixed the difference would become even bigger). It is that fast because there are no floating point operations, no logarithm, no power, no recursion, no regex, no sophisticated formatters and minimization of the amount of objects created.

---

Here is the test program:

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long[] numbers = new long[20000000];
        for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
            numbers[i] = Math.random() < 0.5 ? (long) (Math.random() * Long.MAX_VALUE) : (long) (Math.random() * Long.MIN_VALUE);
        System.out.println(convert1(numbers) + " vs. " + convert2(numbers));
    }

    private static long convert1(long[] numbers) {
        long l = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
            Converter1.convert(numbers[i]);
        return System.currentTimeMillis() - l;
    }

    private static long convert2(long[] numbers) {
        long l = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
            Converter2.coolFormat(numbers[i], 0);
        return System.currentTimeMillis() - l;
    }

}

Possible output: 2309 vs. 11591 (about the same when only using positive numbers and much more extreme when reversing the order of execution, maybe it has something to do with garbage collection)

Answer 11

For anyone that wants to round. This is a great, easy to read solution, that takes advantage of the Java.Lang.Math library

 public static String formatNumberExample(Number number) {
        char[] suffix = {' ', 'k', 'M', 'B', 'T', 'P', 'E'};
        long numValue = number.longValue();
        int value = (int) Math.floor(Math.log10(numValue));
        int base = value / 3;
        if (value >= 3 && base < suffix.length) {
            return new DecimalFormat("~#0.0").format(numValue / Math.pow(10, base * 3)) + suffix[base];
        } else {
            return new DecimalFormat("#,##0").format(numValue);
        }
    }

Answer 12

I don't know if it's the best approach but, this is what i did.

7=>7
12=>12
856=>856
1000=>1.0k
5821=>5.82k
10500=>10.5k
101800=>101.8k
2000000=>2.0m
7800000=>7.8m
92150000=>92.15m
123200000=>123.2m
9999999=>10.0m

--- Code---

public String Format(Integer number){
    String[] suffix = new String[]{"k","m","b","t"};
    int size = (number.intValue() != 0) ? (int) Math.log10(number) : 0;
    if (size >= 3){
        while (size % 3 != 0) {
            size = size - 1;
        }
    }
    double notation = Math.pow(10, size);
    String result = (size >= 3) ? + (Math.round((number / notation) * 100) / 100.0d)+suffix[(size/3) - 1] : + number + "";
    return result
}

Answer 13

The following code shows how you can do this with easy expansion in mind.

The "magic" lies mostly in the makeDecimal function which, for the correct values passed in, guarantees you will never have more than four characters in the output.

It first extracts the whole and tenths portions for a given divisor so, for example, 12,345,678 with a divisor of 1,000,000 will give a whole value of 12 and a tenths value of 3.

From that, it can decide whether it outputs just the whole part or both the whole and tenths part, using the rules:

• If tenths part is zero, just output whole part and suffix.
• If whole part is greater than nine, just output whole part and suffix.
• Otherwise, output whole part, tenths part and suffix.

The code for that follows:

static private String makeDecimal(long val, long div, String sfx) {
    val = val / (div / 10);
    long whole = val / 10;
    long tenths = val % 10;
    if ((tenths == 0) || (whole >= 10))
        return String.format("%d%s", whole, sfx);
    return String.format("%d.%d%s", whole, tenths, sfx);
}

Then, it's a simple matter of calling that helper function with the correct values, including some constants to make life easier for the developer:

static final long THOU =                1000L;
static final long MILL =             1000000L;
static final long BILL =          1000000000L;
static final long TRIL =       1000000000000L;
static final long QUAD =    1000000000000000L;
static final long QUIN = 1000000000000000000L;

static private String Xlat(long val) {
    if (val < THOU) return Long.toString(val);
    if (val < MILL) return makeDecimal(val, THOU, "k");
    if (val < BILL) return makeDecimal(val, MILL, "m");
    if (val < TRIL) return makeDecimal(val, BILL, "b");
    if (val < QUAD) return makeDecimal(val, TRIL, "t");
    if (val < QUIN) return makeDecimal(val, QUAD, "q");
    return makeDecimal(val, QUIN, "u");
}

The fact that the makeDecimal function does the grunt work means that expanding beyond 999,999,999 is just a matter of adding an extra line to Xlat, so easy that I've done it for you.

The final return in Xlat doesn't need a conditional since the largest value you can hold in a 64-bit signed long is only about 9.2 quintillion.

But if, by some bizarre requirement, Oracle decides to add a 128-bit longer type or a 1024-bit damn_long type, you'll be ready for it :-)

---

And, finally, a little test harness you can use for validating the functionality.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    long vals[] = {
        999L, 1000L, 5821L, 10500L, 101800L, 2000000L,
        7800000L, 92150000L, 123200000L, 999999999L,
        1000000000L, 1100000000L, 999999999999L,
        1000000000000L, 999999999999999L,
        1000000000000000L, 9223372036854775807L
    };
    for (long val: vals)
        System.out.println ("" + val + " -> " + Xlat(val));
    }
}

You can see from the output that it gives you what you need:

999 -> 999
1000 -> 1k
5821 -> 5.8k
10500 -> 10k
101800 -> 101k
2000000 -> 2m
7800000 -> 7.8m
92150000 -> 92m
123200000 -> 123m
999999999 -> 999m
1000000000 -> 1b
1100000000 -> 1.1b
999999999999 -> 999b
1000000000000 -> 1t
999999999999999 -> 999t
1000000000000000 -> 1q
9223372036854775807 -> 9.2u

---

And, as an aside, be aware that passing in a negative number to this function will result in a string too long for your requirements, since it follows the < THOU path). I figured that was okay since you only mention non-negative values in the question.

Answer 14

this is my code. clean and simple .

public static String getRoughNumber(long value) {
    if (value <= 999) {
        return String.valueOf(value);
    }

    final String[] units = new String[]{"", "K", "M", "B", "P"};
    int digitGroups = (int) (Math.log10(value) / Math.log10(1000));
    return new DecimalFormat("#,##0.#").format(value / Math.pow(1000, digitGroups)) + "" + units[digitGroups];

}

Answer 15

My favorite. You could use "k" and so on as indicator for decimal too, as common in the electronic domain. This will give you an extra digit without additional space

Second column tries to use as much digits as possible

1000 => 1.0k | 1000
5821 => 5.8k | 5821
10500 => 10k | 10k5
101800 => 101k | 101k
2000000 => 2.0m | 2m
7800000 => 7.8m | 7m8
92150000 => 92m | 92m1
123200000 => 123m | 123m
9999999 => 9.9m | 9m99

This is the code

public class HTTest {
private static String[] unit = {"u", "k", "m", "g", "t"};
/**
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] numbers = new int[]{1000, 5821, 10500, 101800, 2000000, 7800000, 92150000, 123200000, 9999999};
    for(int n : numbers) {
        System.out.println(n + " => " + myFormat(n) + " | " + myFormat2(n));
    }
}

private static String myFormat(int pN) {
    String str = Integer.toString(pN);
    int len = str.length ()-1;
    if (len <= 3) return str;
    int level = len / 3;
    int mode = len % 3;
    switch (mode) {
    case 0: return str.substring(0, 1) + "." + str.substring(1, 2) + unit[level];
    case 1: return str.substring(0, 2) + unit[level];
    case 2: return str.substring(0, 3) + unit[level];
    }
    return "how that?";
}
private static String trim1 (String pVal) {
    if (pVal.equals("0")) return "";
    return pVal;
}
private static String trim2 (String pVal) {
    if (pVal.equals("00")) return "";
    return pVal.substring(0, 1) + trim1(pVal.substring(1,2));
}
private static String myFormat2(int pN) {
    String str = Integer.toString(pN);
    int len = str.length () - 1;
    if (len <= 3) return str;
    int level = len / 3;
    int mode = len % 3;
    switch (mode) {
    case 0: return str.substring(0, 1) + unit[level] + trim2(str.substring(1, 3));
    case 2: return str.substring(0, 3) + unit[level];
    case 1: return str.substring(0, 2) + unit[level] + trim1(str.substring(2, 3));
    }
    return "how that?";
}
}

Answer 16

My Java is rusty, but here's how I'd implement it in C#:

private string  FormatNumber(double value)
    {
    string[]  suffixes = new string[] {" k", " m", " b", " t", " q"};
    for (int j = suffixes.Length;  j > 0;  j--)
        {
        double  unit = Math.Pow(1000, j);
        if (value >= unit)
            return (value / unit).ToString("#,##0.0") + suffixes[--j];
        }
    return value.ToString("#,##0");
    }

It'd be easy to adjust this to use CS kilos (1,024) rather than metric kilos, or to add more units. It formats 1,000 as "1.0 k" rather than "1 k", but I trust that's immaterial.

To meet the more specific requirement "no more than four characters", remove the spaces before the suffixes and adjust the middle block like this:

if (value >= unit)
  {
  value /= unit;
  return (value).ToString(value >= unit * 9.95 ? "#,##0" : "#,##0.0") + suffixes[--j];
  }

Answer 17

Staying true to my comment that I'd value readability above performance, here's a version where it should be clear what's happening (assuming you've used BigDecimals before) without excessive commenting (I believe in self-documenting code), without worrying about performance (since I can't picture a scenario where you'd want to do this so many millions of times that performance even becomes a consideration).

This version:

• uses BigDecimals for precision and to avoid rounding issues
• works for rounding down as requested by the OP
• works for other rounding modes, e.g. HALF_UP as in the tests
• allows you to adjust the precision (change REQUIRED_PRECISION)
• uses an enum to define the thresholds, i.e. could easily be adjusted to use KB/MB/GB/TB instead of k/m/b/t, etc., and could of course be extended beyond TRILLION if required
• comes with thorough unit tests, since the test cases in the question weren't testing the borders
• should work for zero and negative numbers

Threshold.java:

import java.math.BigDecimal;

public enum Threshold {
  TRILLION("1000000000000", 12, 't', null),
  BILLION("1000000000", 9, 'b', TRILLION),
  MILLION("1000000", 6, 'm', BILLION),
  THOUSAND("1000", 3, 'k', MILLION),
  ZERO("0", 0, null, THOUSAND);

  private BigDecimal value;
  private int zeroes;
  protected Character suffix;
  private Threshold higherThreshold;

  private Threshold(String aValueString, int aNumberOfZeroes, Character aSuffix,
      Threshold aThreshold) {
    value = new BigDecimal(aValueString);
    zeroes = aNumberOfZeroes;
    suffix = aSuffix;
    higherThreshold = aThreshold;
  }

  public static Threshold thresholdFor(long aValue) {
    return thresholdFor(new BigDecimal(aValue));
  }

  public static Threshold thresholdFor(BigDecimal aValue) {
    for (Threshold eachThreshold : Threshold.values()) {
      if (eachThreshold.value.compareTo(aValue) <= 0) {
        return eachThreshold;
      }
    }
    return TRILLION; // shouldn't be needed, but you might have to extend the enum
  }

  public int getNumberOfZeroes() {
    return zeroes;
  }

  public String getSuffix() {
    return suffix == null ? "" : "" + suffix;
  }

  public Threshold getHigherThreshold() {
    return higherThreshold;
  }
}

NumberShortener.java:

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.math.RoundingMode;

public class NumberShortener {

  public static final int REQUIRED_PRECISION = 2;

  public static BigDecimal toPrecisionWithoutLoss(BigDecimal aBigDecimal,
      int aPrecision, RoundingMode aMode) {
    int previousScale = aBigDecimal.scale();
    int previousPrecision = aBigDecimal.precision();
    int newPrecision = Math.max(previousPrecision - previousScale, aPrecision);
    return aBigDecimal.setScale(previousScale + newPrecision - previousPrecision,
        aMode);
  }

  private static BigDecimal scaledNumber(BigDecimal aNumber, RoundingMode aMode) {
    Threshold threshold = Threshold.thresholdFor(aNumber);
    BigDecimal adjustedNumber = aNumber.movePointLeft(threshold.getNumberOfZeroes());
    BigDecimal scaledNumber = toPrecisionWithoutLoss(adjustedNumber, REQUIRED_PRECISION,
        aMode).stripTrailingZeros();
    // System.out.println("Number: <" + aNumber + ">, adjusted: <" + adjustedNumber
    // + ">, rounded: <" + scaledNumber + ">");
    return scaledNumber;
  }

  public static String shortenedNumber(long aNumber, RoundingMode aMode) {
    boolean isNegative = aNumber < 0;
    BigDecimal numberAsBigDecimal = new BigDecimal(isNegative ? -aNumber : aNumber);
    Threshold threshold = Threshold.thresholdFor(numberAsBigDecimal);
    BigDecimal scaledNumber = aNumber == 0 ? numberAsBigDecimal : scaledNumber(
        numberAsBigDecimal, aMode);
    if (scaledNumber.compareTo(new BigDecimal("1000")) >= 0) {
      scaledNumber = scaledNumber(scaledNumber, aMode);
      threshold = threshold.getHigherThreshold();
    }
    String sign = isNegative ? "-" : "";
    String printNumber = sign + scaledNumber.stripTrailingZeros().toPlainString()
        + threshold.getSuffix();
    // System.out.println("Number: <" + sign + numberAsBigDecimal + ">, rounded: <"
    // + sign + scaledNumber + ">, print: <" + printNumber + ">");
    return printNumber;
  }
}

(Uncomment the println statements or change to use your favourite logger to see what it's doing.)

Answer 20

This code snippet just deadly simple, and clean code, and totally works:

private static char[] c = new char[]{'K', 'M', 'B', 'T'};
private String formatK(double n, int iteration) {
    if (n < 1000) {
        // print 999 or 999K
        if (iteration <= 0) {
            return String.valueOf((long) n);
        } else {
            return String.format("%d%s", Math.round(n), c[iteration-1]);
        }
    } else if (n < 10000) {
        // Print 9.9K
        return String.format("%.1f%s", n/1000, c[iteration]);
    } else {
        // Increase 1 iteration
        return formatK(Math.round(n/1000), iteration+1);
    }
}

Answer 21

try this :

public String Format(Integer number){
    String[] suffix = new String[]{"k","m","b","t"};
    int size = (number.intValue() != 0) ? (int) Math.log10(number) : 0;
    if (size >= 3){
        while (size % 3 != 0) {
            size = size - 1;
        }
    }
    double notation = Math.pow(10, size);
    String result = (size >= 3) ? + (Math.round((number / notation) * 100) / 100.0d)+suffix[(size/3) - 1] : + number + "";
    return result
}

Answer 22

There is a solution on the Maven Central

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.bogdanovmn.humanreadablevalues</groupId>
  <artifactId>human-readable-values</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>

You can just get values for amount of bytes or seconds. Also you can create you own factorization class.

Docs https://github.com/bogdanovmn/java-human-readable-values

Seconds example

assertEquals(
    "2h 46m 40s",
    new SecondsValue(10000).fullString()
);

assertEquals(
    "2.8h",
    new SecondsValue(10000).shortString()
);

Bytes example

assertEquals(
    "9K 784b",
    new BytesValue(10000).fullString()
);

assertEquals(
    "9.8K",
    new BytesValue(10000).shortString()
);

Answer 23

Set the divisor according to the the input number: 1000, 100000, 1000000, 1000000000 etc...

check the whole part(first part without fraction) of the number if its size is 1 then cast the input to long + String. if the size is >= 2 then divide the input and use DecimalFormat to show fractional part as desired.

you can use // .setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.DOWN) to deal with rounding

public static String format(long num) {

        String suffix = "", result;
        double divisor = 0;

        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("##");
        DecimalFormat ds = new DecimalFormat("##.#");
        // ds.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.DOWN);

        if ( num >= 1000  && num < 1000000 ) {
            divisor = 1000;
            suffix = "K";
        } else if ( num >= 1000000 && num < 1000000000 ) {
            divisor = 1000000;
            suffix = "M";
        } else if (num >= 1000000000) {
            divisor = 1000000000;
            suffix = "B";
        } else {
            System.out.print("The number is Too big > T or TOO small < K");
        }

        int numlengt = df.format(num / divisor).length();

        if (numlengt >= 2) {
            result = (long) (num / divisor) + suffix;
        } else {
            result = ds.format(num / divisor) + suffix;
        }
        return result;
    }

        if (size>=4 && size<6) {
                int value = (int) Math.pow(10, 1);
                double d = (double) Math.round(n/1000.0 * value) / value;
                return (double) Math.round(n/1000.0 * value) / value+" "+c[0];
        } else if(size>5 && size<8) {
                int value = (int) Math.pow(10, 1);
                return (double) Math.round(n/100000.0 * value) / value+" "+c[1];
        } else if(size>=8) {
                int value = (int) Math.pow(10, 1);
                return (double) Math.round(n/10000000.0 * value) / value+" "+c[2];
        } else {
            return n+"";
        }
    }
}

Output:

1000 => 1.0 K

5821 => 5.8 K

10500 => 10.5 K

101800 => 1.0 L

2000000 => 20.0 L

92150000 => 9.2 Cr

123200000 => 12.3 Cr

9999999 => 100.0 L

999 => 999

Here is a another simple solution for your problem. let say

String abbr="M,K,T,B";

double yvalue=some random number; String string ="#.##" //decimal places whatever you want

public  String format(Double yvalue, String string,String abbr) {
    DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat(getnumberformatpattern(string));
      if (yvalue < 0) return "-" + format(-yvalue,string,abbr);
          double finalvalue= yvalue;
          String newnumber="";
          
                if (abbr.indexOf("K")>0){   
                    finalvalue= (yvalue / 1e3);
                    newnumber=df.format(finalvalue) +'K';
                }
                if (abbr.indexOf("M")>0 ){
                if(yvalue>=1e6){
                    finalvalue= (yvalue / 1e6);
                    newnumber=df.format(finalvalue) +'M';
                    };
                }
                if (abbr.indexOf("B")>0 )
                {
                if((newnumber.indexOf("M")<0) || yvalue>=1e9){

                    newnumber=df.format(finalvalue) +'B';                   }
                }
                if (abbr.indexOf("T")>0 ){

            ( ""+getExactValue(input.toString()[0] +"."+ input.toString()[1]) +"K")
        else if(input.toString().length<6)
            (""+getExactValue(""+input.toString().subSequence(0, 2) +"."+ input.toString()[2]) +"K")
        else if(input.toString().length<7)
            (""+ getExactValue( input.toString()[0] +"."+input.toString().subSequence(1, 3))+"L")
        else if(input.toString().length<8)
            (""+ getExactValue( ""+input.toString().subSequence(0, 2)+"."+input.toString().subSequence(2,4))+"L")

    }

    private fun getExactValue(value: String): String {
        return value.replace(".00", "")
