Example: Price Conversion - Fractional Dollars

A fractional dollar price, in this case 1 3/8, is converted to a decimal price. 

import com.imsl.finance.*;
import java.text.NumberFormat;

public class dollardeEx1 {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        double fractionalDollar = 1.3;
        int fraction = 8;

        double dollardec = Finance.dollarde(fractionalDollar, fraction);
        System.out.println("The fractional dollar 1.3 = "
                + NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(dollardec));
    }
}

Output

The fractional dollar 1.3 = $1.38
