Awesome! Thanks for making this so clear. The other examples I found online confused the issue with a lot of unnecessary code. Simple is better for a Java noob like me.

The first comma to decimal point is 3 digits, so 1,212,245.67 is the correct result, if you change the pattern to #,##,##,##.00, the output should be 1,21,22,45.67. The number is always divided in equal size.

DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat(“#,##,##,##0.00″);
double num = 1212245.67;
System.out.println(formatter.format(num));

The above code is showing as 1,212,245.67, but it should be 12,12,245.67

Anybody please help me with correct code.
