Displaying a decimal Format for Euros

Question

I want the price to be in Euros €, what do i need to change with the code below?

I have it in dollars so far

DecimalFormat dollars = new DecimalFormat( "$0.00" );

That it? because i will need to change the dollar word as there is more code to be added beneath this line of code above. e.g. (dollars.format) — Sean Collins, Sep 11 '14 at 13:47
Be careful here, most European countries use , as the decimal separator. May not be relevant here. — Bathsheba, Sep 11 '14 at 13:53
Also irrelevant but can be useful for people with the same issue. The Euro symbol goes after the amount, like this : 0,00€ — Alexi Courieux, Dec 09 '21 at 11:18

Unless, I'm missing something; you could change this

DecimalFormat dollars = new DecimalFormat( "$0.00" );

to

DecimalFormat euros = new DecimalFormat( "€0.00" );  // <-- euros not dollars.

you can even do it this way

Locale italian = new Locale("it", "IT", "EURO");
Locale.setDefault(italian);
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
System.out.println(nf.format(123));
