number format

Interface

Number Format C

Format a number, by inserting a separator between every 3 digits of the main number and by rounding the result to the specified number of decimal places. The function is modelled on the PHP equivalent of the same name.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/computing/io/format/number_format.h>
 
int main ()
{
  char* a=IO::Format::number_format_c(234.38645,2);
  printf("\n%s", a);
	delete[](a);
}

Output:

234.39

Warning

This function create a dynamic array, ensure you release this memory with delete[]

Note

The routine does not work with very very large numbers.

Parameters

value	The number to be converted into a text string.
dp	The number of decimal places to truncate the number to. dp has a range from 0 to 19. (default =0)
dec_point	is the character to be used as a decimal point. (default='.')
thousand_sep	Character to be inserted after every 3 digits. (default=',')

Returns

A character string of the formatted number.

Number Format

Format a number, by inserting a separator between every 3 digits of the main number and by rounding the result to the specified number of decimal places. The function is modelled on the PHP equivalent of the same name.

This function only differs from that above in that it returns a standard string object, which is automatically released from memory when the object goes out of scrope. Thereby avoiding any possible memory leaks.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/computing/io/format/number_format.h>
 
using namespace IO::Format;
 
int main ()
{
  printf("\n%s", number_format(22.38645,2).c_str());
  printf("\n%s", number_format(122.38245,2).c_str());
  printf("\n%s", number_format(4122.38645,2).c_str());
  printf("\n%s", number_format(-57000000,2,'.',':').c_str());
  printf("\n%s", number_format(-1234.567,2,'.',':').c_str());
  printf("\n%s", number_format(-987.654,2,'.',':').c_str());
}

Output:

22.39
122.38
4,122.39
-57:000:000.00
-1:234.57
-987.65

Note

The routine does not work with very very large numbers.

Parameters

value	The number to be converted into a text string.
dp	The number of decimal places to truncate the number to. dp has a range from 0 to 19. (default =0)
dec_point	is the character to be used as a decimal point. (default='.')
thousand_sep	Character to be inserted after every 3 digits. (default=',')

Returns

A character string of the formatted number.
