The post "Compact Number Formatting Comes to JDK 12" demonstrated the support added to NumberFormatin JDK 12 to support compact number formatting. The examples shown in that post only used the instances of NumberFormat returned by invocations of NumberFormat's new overloaded getCompactNumberInstance(-)methods, and so, therefore, they did not specify characteristics such as minimum fractional digits and maximum fractional digits. The results, in some cases, are less than desirable. Fortunately, NumberFormat does allow for minimum and maximum fractional digits to be specified, and this post demonstrates how that can improve the output of the compact number formatting available with JDK 12.
The code listing introduced in the original "Compact Number Formatting Comes to JDK 12" post (which is available on GitHub) has been updated to demonstrate the use of NumberFormat.setMinimumFractionDigits(int). An excerpt of that code is shown next and is followed by the accompanying output.
