How to convert NSDecimal to NSString with custom format

Question

How to show NSDecimal with custom format? Something like "% .2f" or "% .4f". NSDecimalString just throws zeros (e.g. 4.10 becomes 4.1).

Answer 1

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f", [[NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithDecimal:myDecimal] doubleValue]] 

Alternatively, consider NSNumberFormatter .
