I hope you can help me out with this 'small' problem. I want to convert a string to a double/float.
NSString *stringValue = #"1235";
priceLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[stringValue doubleValue]/(double)100.00];
I was hoping this to set the priceLabel to 12,35 but I get some weird long string meaning nothing to me.
I have tried:
priceLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[stringValue intValue]/(double)100.00];
priceLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[stringValue doubleValue]/100];
but all without success.
This is how to convert an NSString to a double
double myDouble = [myString doubleValue];
You have to use %f to show float/double value.
then %.2f means 2digits after dot
NSString *stringValue = #"1235";
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.2f",[stringValue doubleValue]/(double)100.00];
NSLog(#"str : %# \n\n",s);
priceLabel.text = str;
OUTPUT:
str : 12.35
I think you have the wrong format string. Where you have:
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", ...];
You should really have:
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", ...];
%d is used for integer values. But you're trying to display a floating point number (%f).

I have a string which gives the Date (below)
NSString*str1=[objDict objectForKey:#"date"];
NSLog(#" str values2%#",str1); --> 04-Jan-13
Now Problem is I need to Trim the"-13" from here .I know about NSDateFormatter to format date.but I can't do that here.I need to trim that
For that I am using:-
NSCharacterSet *charc=[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"-13"];
[str1 stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:charc];
But this does not work.this does not trim...how to do that..help
Not sure why not use an NSDateFormatter but here's a very specific way to approach this (very bad coding practice in my opinion):
NSString *theDate = str1;
NSArray *components = [theDate componentsSeparatedByString:#"-"];
NSString *trimmedDate = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#-%#",[components objectAtIndex:0],[components objectAtIndex:1]];
But this does not work.this does not trim...
It does trim, but since NSString is immutable, the trimmed string is thrown away, because you do not assign it to anything.
This would work (but do not do it like that!)
str1 = [str1 stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:charc];
What you do is not trimming, it's taking a substring. NSString provides a much better method for that:
str1 = [str1 substringToIndex:6]; // Take the initial 6 characters
Something like this:
NSString *trimmed = [textStr stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
or this:
NSString *trimmed = [textStr stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"-13"];
what you have done is correct. Only thing is stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet returns NSString. So you need to assign this value to NSString, like
str1 = [str1 stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:charc];
if you're sure you have your string always formatted like "NN-CCC-NN" you can just trim the first 6 chars:
NSString* stringToTrim = #"04-Jan-13";
NSString* trimmedString = [stringToTrim substringToIndex:6];
NSLog(#"trimmedString: %#", trimmedString); // -> trimmedString: 04-Jan
I want to replace a single character at a particular position in a string.
Example
String: 123-456-7890
Desired Output: 123-406-7890 (Replacing 5 at fifth position with 0)
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSString_Class/
visit here and read all about string
Use stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:withString:, forming the NSRange variable to indicate the 5th position.
NSString *phoneNumber = #"123-456-7890";
NSString *newString = [phoneNumber stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(5, 1) withString:#"0"];
NSLog(#"%#", newString);
Output: 123-406-7890
Read all about NSString.
for replacing string there are lots of way:
NSString *str = [yourString stringByReplacingOccuranceOfString:#"5" withString:#"0"];
second way first get range of string like:
NSRange range = [yourSting rangeOfString:#"5"];
NSString *first = [yourString substringToIndex:range.location];
NSString *second = [yourString substringFromIndex:range.location+range.length];
NSString *yourNewStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#0%#",first,second];
Tere are lots of other using string operation but First one is best in that.
Get the range (i.e. index) of first occurrence of the substring.
Then replace at that range with your desired replace value.
NSString *originalString = #"123 456 789";
NSRange r = [originalString rangeOfString:#"5"];
NSString *newString = [originalString stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:r withString:#"0"];
If you want to actually replace the 5th character rather than just any 5 you need to make a range first.
NSRange range = NSMakeRange(5, 1);
NSString *newString = [initialString stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:#"0"];
Edit: Corrected make range length
you can use :-
NSString *replacechar = #"0";
NSString *newString= [String stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(5,1) withString:replacechar];
I have an NSString *string=#"606" and I want to add a ":" colon after two digits.
The output should look like this: 6:06
It this is possible?
Help would be appropriated.
Thank you very much.
You can add the column between the hours and the minutes like this:
NSString *string = #"606";
NSString *result = [string stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(string.length-2, 0) withString:#":"];
NSLog(#"%#", result);
This will give the following results
#"606" => #"6:06"
#"1200" => #"12:00"
#"1406" => #"14:30"
Note: This will only work if the string has 3 or 4 characters, but this is the case according to your question.
Because you do not have two separate objects for hours and minutes, use:
NSString *newTimeString, *hour, *minute;
NSUInteger length = [timeString length];
if (length == 3)
{
hour = [timeString substringToIndex:1];
minute = [timeString substringFromIndex:2];
}
else
{
hour = [timeString substringToIndex:2];
minute = [timeString substringFromIndex:3];
}
newTimeString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#", hour, minute];
I used a long version to illustrate the concept. Basically, use the length of the original string (timeString) to extract the time components and combine them with a colon.
Will it be 2 digits no matter what? Otherwise you could build your custom string from parameters.
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#", hours, minutes];
UPDATE
If you just need to add a colon after 1 char, you can do it this way. Although I would suggest finding a safer method as this could be inaccurate if you have a double digit hour.
NSString *hour = [NSString substringToIndex:1]; // double check the index
NSString *min = [NSString substringFromIndex:1]; // double check the index
NSString *time = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#", hour, min];
Hopefully this will help.
What would be the expected result from the following Objective C code?
int intValue = 1;
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%+02d", intValue];
I thought the value of string would be "+01", it turns out to be "+1". Somehow "0" in format string "+01" is ignored. Change code to:
int intValue = 1;
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%02d", intValue];
the value of string is now "01". It does generate the leading "0". However, if intValue is negative, as in:
int intValue = -1;
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%02d", intValue];
the value of string becomes "-1", not "-01".
Did I miss anything? Or is this a known issue? What would be the recommended workaround?
Thanks in advance.
#Mark Byers is correct in his comment. Specifying '0' pads the significant digits with '0' with respect to the sign '+/-'. Instead of '0' use dot '.' which pads the significant digits with '0' irrespective of the sign.
[... stringWithFormat:#"%+.2d", 1]; // Result is #"+01"
[... stringWithFormat:#"%.2d", -1]; // Result is #"-01"
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"+0%d", intValue];
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"-0%d", intValue];
How can I make a double appear with only two decimal places? Current code is as follows (but of course, it's showing a lot of decimal places):
tipPercentDbl = 20;//tipPercent as Dbl
tipDbl = (totalDbl * (tipPercentDbl/100));//tip as Dbl
tip.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", tipDbl];
tipPercent.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", tipPercentDbl];
totalWithTipDbl = (totalDbl+tipDbl);
totalWithTip.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", totalWithTipDbl];
Change this
tipPercent.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", tipPercentDbl];
to this
tipPercent.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.2f", tipPercentDbl];
You want %.2f:
tip.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.2f", tipDbl];
tipPercent.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.2f", tipPercentDbl];
// ...
totalWithTip.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.2f", totalWithTipDbl];
Format specifiers take the form of:
%[flags][width][.precision][length]specifier
where .precision in the case of f specifiers means the number of digits to be printed after the decimal point.
