Currency string from a number (double)
Converting a decimal number to a currency string is simple with NSNumberFormatter.
In our app we deal with money, virtual money.
We needed a simple formatter that would format double:
54.36233 --> 54.36
26.00 --> 26+ (NSString *)currencyStringFromNumber:(double)number
{
NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
//remove .00 if needed
if (number == (int)number) {
[formatter setMaximumFractionDigits:0];
}
[formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
NSNumber *aNumber = [NSNumber numberWithDouble:number];
return [formatter stringFromNumber:aNumber];
