currency

Good day, in database there is table with houses for sale records. For each house record there is currency code (in ISO 4217 format) field. Is it possibly to somehow get currency symbol from that code so I could use it on presentation side ? Thank you. P.S. Was trying to resolve that problem setting Currency object (created by Currency.getInstance(currencyCode)) into DecimalNumberFormat setCurrency method and then format value I needed to display, but formatted value still without currency symbol. You can use the Currency object's getSymbol method. What symbol is used depends on the Locale

iGoogle is shutting down . There is an (undocumented?) currency conversion API available with URLs like: http://www.google.com/ig/calculator?hl=en&q=1GBP=?USD The base of this url - google.com/ig - takes you to iGoogle. Will the API be available after iGoogle shuts down? Simon Davies I was having the same issue described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19786423/2819754 I used @hobailey answer for a temporary fix until i can update it to another version or google decide to do a proper api. As google changed the URL to https://www.google.com/finance/converter?a So the fix i found is below.

Is it better to have a field in the database that stores the customers account balance or use views and queries to generate the information. For performance, I'd say both. Keep a log of all the transactions (in a separate table) but maintain a field in the customer record that stores the current balance that gets refreshed when you add more transactions. One project I worked on we stored the current balance in one field, and all the transactions on another table, but because of the level of importance that this project had on the data being perfect 100% (or better) or the time, we also stored

My iPhone app formats an NSDecimalNumber as a currency using setCurrencyCode, however another screen displays just the currency symbol. Rather than storing both the currency code and symbol, is it possible to derive the symbol from the code? I thought the following might work, but it just returns the symbol as $: currencyCode = [dictPrices valueForKey:@"currencyCode"]; NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [numberFormatter setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4]; [numberFormatter setCurrencyCode:currencyCode]; [numberFormatter

It seems that the NSNumberFormatter can't parse Euro (and probably other) currency strings into a numerical type. Can someone please prove me wrong. I'm attempting to use the following to get a numeric amount from a currency string: NSNumberFormatter *currencyFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [currencyFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle]; NSNumber *currencyNumber = [currencyFormatter numberFromString:currencyString]; This works fine for UK and US currency amounts. It even deals with $ and £ and thousands separators with no problems. However, when I

How can I get the currency symbols for the corresponding currency code with Swift (macOS). Example: EUR = €1.00 USD = $1.00 CAD = $1.00 GBP = £1.00 My code: var formatter = NSNumberFormatter() formatter.currencySymbol = getSymbol(currencyCode) formatter.numberStyle = NSNumberFormatterStyle.CurrencyStyle let number = NSNumber(double: (amount as NSString).doubleValue) let amountWithSymbol = formatter.stringFromNumber(number)! getSymbol(_ currencyCode: String) -> String or.. is there a better way? A bit late but this is a solution I used to get the $ instead of US$ etc. for currency symbol. /* *

Looking for a good Money data type for .NET that supports currencies and exchange rates (with related behaviour & operations). Note: I started searching for the source code seen in print in the book Test-Driven Development By Example by author Kent Beck - he develops a nice Monetary concept. Unable to find the complete source online. The book does not contain one singular listing - instead it develops the source code over the duration of the book. Although the book doesn't go deeper I would also like the Money class to support different rounding mechanisms because that also varies among
