I want to display the dollar or pound sign in my fields that hold job_salary any one knows? how to Using $ in the format mask hardcodes a dollar sign (after all, Oracle is an American corporation). Other currencies are determined by the setting for NLS_TERRITORY. Use C to see the ISO currency abbreviation (UKP) and L for the symbol (£).

I'm trying to get the country from which the user is browsing the website so I can work out what currency to show on the website. I have tried using the GET scripts available from: http://api.hostip.info but they just return XX when I test it. If anyone knows any better methods please share. Thanks. Try these: http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/ http://www.ip2location.com/ Both are IP address-to-country databases, which allow you to look up the country of origin of a given IP address. However it's important to note that these databases are not 100% accurate. They're a good guide, but you

I have an integer representing a price in cents. Using Python format strings, how can I convert this value into dollars with two decimal places? Examples: 1234 => 12.34 5 => 0.05 999 => 9.99 EDIT: I should give some background. I am storing prices in a database as integers in order to make sure I don't loose precision. I don't want to use the Decimal datatype because these values will also be used in calculations in Javascript, so integers will be simplest to work with for that. I want to be able to display in a Django template the formatted value using the stringformat tag. As such, dividing

Okay, here's my problem. Basically I have this problem. I have a number like .53999999. How do I round it up to 54 without using any of the Math functions? I'm guessing I have to multiply by 100 to scale it, then divide? Something like that? The issue is with money. let's say I have $50.5399999 I know how to get the $50, but I don't have how to get the cents. I can get the .539999 part, but I don't know how to get it to 54 cents. I would use something like: BigDecimal result = new BigDecimal("50.5399999").setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP); There is a great article called Make cents with

Bearing in mind various quirks of the data types, and localization, what is the best way for a web service to communicate monetary values to and from applications? Is there a standard somewhere? My first thought was to simply use the number type. For example "amount": 1234.56 I have seen many arguments about issues with a lack of precision and rounding errors when using floating point data types for monetary calculations--however, we are just transmitting the value, not calculating, so that shouldn't matter. EventBrite's JSON currency specifications specify something like this: { "currency":

For example, the Chinese currency has the ISO 4217 code CNY . Since free global trading in that currency is restricted though, there's a second 'offshore' currency equivalent, called CNH . Wikipedia has a bit of summary of this all. In Java 7 , there's a method for updating the set of three letter ISO 4217 codes that the JVM ships with. However, it can't be used to add a separate currency code to an existing country code: it would replace CNY with CNH , which is no good for my purposes. How do I add CNH (which is not in the ISO 4217 list) to the set of available currencies in Java 7 , without

I have a money data type in SQL Server. How do I reformat 0.00 to 0 in my query? Normal money conversions will preserve individual pennies: SELECT convert(varchar(30), moneyfield, 1) The last parameter decides what the output format looks like: 0 (default) No commas every three digits to the left of the decimal point, and two digits to the right of the decimal point; for example, 4235.98. 1 Commas every three digits to the left of the decimal point, and two digits to the right of the decimal point; for example, 3,510.92. 2 No commas every three digits to the left of the decimal point, and four

Is there a way to get current information dynamically from the apps culture settings? Basically if the user has set the culture to US I want to know the currency is dollars, or if they have it set to UK I want to pound sterling etc... etc.. This is so I can send this information to PayPal when a payment is being made Use the RegionInfo.ISOCurrencySymbol property. For example: var ri = new RegionInfo(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.LCID); Console.WriteLine(ri.ISOCurrencySymbol); Output: "USD" You can get the symbol from CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat
