How to Format a Double to get rid of 0's

You've specified three decimal places by writing .3, so you're getting them. If you don't want them, don't specify them.

I don't know what you mean by 'leading zeros that integers don't pick up'. Neither doubles nor integers contain leading zeros.

Use DecimalFormat to create a String with leading zeroes to format a zip code. With this code:

DecimalFormat pattern = new DecimalFormat("00000"); String zip = pattern.format(99928.0); System.out.println(String.format("%s", zip)); 

The output is:

99928 

Incidentally, because there are leading zeroes in a zip code, it shouldn't be read as any numeric data type. You should read and store it as a String.

I am guessing you are storing 99928.000000 as a string, if you are able to keep leading zeroes.

In this case, you should be able to get what you want by using string splitting on the decimal point.

String foo = "99928.000000" foo = foo.split("\\.")[0] 

Could you please try using DecimalFormat , it says

# Number Yes Digit, zero shows as absent 

For more details please refer here

for zip code you shall mask it with "%5.0f", as following

String result = String.format("%5.0f %s,%s (%1.3f; %1.3f)", zip, city, state, latitude, longitude);
