In this chapter you will learn:

1. Use Decimal ("D") Format
2. Example to Use Decimal ("D") Format

Description

The "D" (or decimal) format specifier converts a number to a string of decimal digits (0-9), prefixed by a minus sign if the number is negative.

Example,

If required, the number is padded with zeros to its left to produce the number of digits given by the precision specifier.

NegativeSign from NumberFormatInfo defines the string that indicates that a number is negative.

Example

using System;//w  ww  .  j  ava2 s. c o  m

class MainClass
{
   static void Main()
   {
        int value; 
        
        value = 12345;
        Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("D"));
        // Displays 12345
        Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("D8"));
        // Displays 00012345 
        
        value = -12345;
        Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("D"));
        // Displays -12345
        Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("D8"));
        // Displays -00012345
   }
}

The code above generates the following result.
