Question Format the variable to Currency?

[Gerald]

I am trying to add a double variable into a Console.WriteLine and am not sure to:

1. Add into the Console.WriteLine command and
2. Format the variable to Currency.

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

To convert a numeric value, or anything else for that matter, to a String, you call its ToString method. In the case of numeric types, you can pass a standard or custom format specifier to have the output formatted a particular way. To format a number as currency using the current culture, the format specifier is "c":

Console.WriteLine(myNumber.ToString("c"));

If you want to incorporate additional text then you can use the format specifier a slightly different way:

Console.WriteLine("Amount Due: {0:c}", myNumber);

Thanks for the help. Now the program is working the way I thought it should and giving the restults is should.
