Ok, say I have

y = 101.333; 

How can I display how many digits there are before (3 in this case) and after the decimal point (3 in this case)?

Can we possibly use the DecimalFormat class to do this?

If so, how please?

Thank you.

If it's a double variable -

int digits = Double.toString(y).length;

Same works for Integer, Long, Float etc

Edit - scrap that didn't notice you wanted before and after decimal point.

You could use the split method though.

String[] parts = Double.toString(y).split("\\.");
int before = parts[0].length;
int after = parts[1].length

You should however do a check to see if there is a decimal point in the number to avoid an exception being thrown.

Ryan's way works but is definitely not the best.

new BigDecimal(String.valueOf(y)).precision()

is probably the easiest way I know.
