Improved Number Formatting in Java 7

Java 7 has introduced number formatting in very pleasant manner. Lets see how?

If you have to read a number “1000000“, then how much convenient it read in first site. Not much, right??

We have a habit of reading numbers in 10,00,000 format. Good news is that  java has started supporting to write numbers in this format. Well, not exactly this but a matching format.

Now you can write above number like this : 10_00_000. Good enough, Isn’t it.

This post is in series to identify improvements in java 7. Read other features here in this link.

A demo program for new formatted numbers goes as below:

public class ImprovedNumbersInJava7
{
	@SuppressWarnings("unused")
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		/**
		 * Supported in int
		 * */
		int improvedInt = 10_00_000;
		/**
		 * Supported in float
		 * */
		float improvedFloat = 10_00_000f;
		/**
		 * Supported in long
		 * */
		float improvedLong = 10_00_000l;
		/**
		 * Supported in double
		 * */
		float improvedDouble = 10_00_000;
	}
}
