Format double number

Hello,I'd like to find an easy way to format my double (and add it in a string), as it is possible in C.For example :float my_float = 3.141592653589printf("%.2f\n", my_float) ; prints 3.14.Is it possible ?Thanks for any tips

As of 1.5.0, there is:

java.util.Formatter

An interpreter for printf-style format strings. This class provides support for layout justification and alignment, common formats for numeric, string, and date/time data, and locale-specific output. Common Java types such as byte, BigDecimal, and Calendar are supported. Limited formatting customization for arbitrary user types is provided through the Formattable interface.

Formatting numbers before 1.5 is not as easy as what 1.5 will provide but it's not difficult. See the java.text package and in particular NumberFormat and DecimalFormat. I suspect the new 1.5 "printf" like support will probably just be a layer on top of these classes.
