How to format currency input

Question

My question is related to this question. I am also looking for the same type of formatting but in reverse order.

Like if I press one it should print 1.00, then I press 2 and it will be 12.00. Then I press 3 it will be 123.00.

If I press (.) dot then it will be 123.00 only. And if now I press 9 then it will be 123.90, and if I then press 6 it will be 123.96 and will be till 2 decimal places only. Values after decimal will not increase after 2 and length of the value before the decimal point is unlimited. Pressing backspace deletes the last entered number.

What have you tried ? Where do you struggle? Give some code so people can help you. — Marc-Andre, May 17 '13 at 18:14

You can use two int variables

one should store values before decimal
second should store values after decimal, also make sure value is not greater than 99 here.

after the input is complete join the two int variables into a string with a decimal place.

then parse it into a float variable.
