Is NSNumberFormatter the only way to format an NSDecimalNumber?
- by Paul Alexander
I'm using an NSDecimalNumber to store money in Core Data. I naively used stringWithFormat: at first to format the value, later realizing that it didn't support NSDecimalNumber and was instead formatting the pointer :(. So after some reading through the docs I learned to use the NSNumberFormatter to get the format I wanted. But this just strikes me as the "hard way". Is there any easier way than this:?
NSNumberFormatter * formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setNumberStyle: NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
priceField.text = [formatter stringFromNumber: ent.price];
[formatter release];
