DecimalFormat getMinimumIntegerDigits() method in Java

The getMinimumIntegerDigits() method is a built-in method of the java.text.DecimalFomrat class in Java and is used to get the minimum number of digits allowed in the integral part of a Number. The integral part in a number is defined as the part present before the decimal point ( . ). For example, in the number 123, 45.678, the integral part is 123, 45.

Syntax:

public int getMinimumIntegerDigits()

Parameters: The function does not accepts any parameter.

Return Value: The function returns the minimum number of digits allowed in the integral part of a number.

Below is the implementation of the above function:

Program 1:




// Java program to illustrate the
// getMinimumIntegerDigits() method
  
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.util.Currency;
import java.util.Locale;
  
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Create the DecimalFormat Instance
        DecimalFormat deciFormat = new DecimalFormat();
  
        // Print the minimum Integral digits allowed
        System.out.println(deciFormat.getMinimumIntegerDigits());
    }
}


Output:

1

Program 2:




// Java program to illustrate the
// getMinimumIntegerDigits() method
  
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.util.Currency;
import java.util.Locale;
  
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Create the DecimalFormat Instance
        DecimalFormat deciFormat = new DecimalFormat();
        deciFormat.applyPattern("##.##");
  
        // Print the Minimum Integral digits allowed
        System.out.println(deciFormat.getMinimumIntegerDigits());
    }
}


Output:

1
