[omarali]

Hi everyone
could any one please help me to sort the currency type I tried to to use NumberFormat using the getCurrencyInstance(); to get Total but gave me I IIR for currency but I want $ or £ the following is wat i tried

//programe to print local curency
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
public class LocalCurrency
{
	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
		Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
		NumberFormat currency = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
		String niceTotal;
		double total,quantity,unitPrice,amount;
		boolean taxable;
		System.out.println("Please enter quantity");
		
		quantity = myScanner.nextDouble();
		System.out.println("Please enter unit price");
		unitPrice = myScanner.nextDouble();
		amount = unitPrice * quantity;
		System.out.println("Is taxable? Yes/no");
		taxable= myScanner.nextBoolean();
		
		
		if (taxable = true)
		{
			total = amount * 1.5;	
		}
		else
		{
			total = amount;
		}
		System.out.println(total);
		niceTotal=currency.format(total);
		System.out.println(niceTotal);
    }
}

You mean something like:

System.out.print(Currency.getInstance(Locale.getDefault()).getSymbol());
