objective c - NSNumberFormatter from 13000 to 13K

Question

I would like to convert numbers to the shorter form using NSNumberFormatter.

For example: From 23000 to get 23K.

How I can do it using NSNumberFormatter?

I know it is possible to do calculation on my own, but in my case it is not right way to go.

Answer 1

The 'K' suffix is not recognized as standard, so you can't do this using NSNumberFormatter. anyway this is a simple way to do that.

-(NSString *)kFormatForNumber:(int)number{
    int result;
    if(number >= 1000){ 
        result = number/1000;

        NSString *kValue = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%dk",result];
        return kValue;
    }
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",number];
}
