Example

Floating point Numbers can be formatted as a decimal number using String.format with 'f' flag

    //Two digits in fracttional part are rounded
    String format1 = String.format("%.2f", 1.2399);
    System.out.println(format1); // "1.24"

    // three digits in fractional part are rounded 
    String format2 = String.format("%.3f", 1.2399);
    System.out.println(format2); // "1.240"
    
    //rounded to two digits, filled with zero 
    String format3 = String.format("%.2f", 1.2);
    System.out.println(format3); // returns "1.20"
    
    //rounder to two digits
    String format4 = String.format("%.2f", 3.19999);
    System.out.println(format4); // "3.20"

Floating point Numbers can be formatted as a decimal number using DecimalFormat

   // rounded with one digit fractional part 
    String format = new DecimalFormat("0.#").format(4.3200);
    System.out.println(format); // 4.3
    
   // rounded with two digit fractional part 
    String format = new DecimalFormat("0.##").format(1.2323000);
    System.out.println(format); //1.23

    // formatting floating numbers to decimal number
    double dv = 123456789;
    System.out.println(dv); // 1.23456789E8
    String format =  new DecimalFormat("0").format(dv);
    System.out.println(format); //123456789
