Java printing double value zero in printf

I have in my function the following statement System.out.printf("The balance is %0.1f", acct.getBalance());, sometimes the balance will be 0, when this is the case, I get MissingFormatWidthException, how can I make this work even for 0.0? It works perfectly for doubles greater than 0.0.

System.out.printf("The balance is %.1f",(double)acct.getBalance());

OR

System.out.printf("The balance is %1.1f",(double)acct.getBalance());

%0.1f interprets as print as a floating point at least 0 wide and a precision of 2. It should ideally give errors.

Try this:

System.out.printf("The balance is %0.1f", acct.getBalance() !=0 ? acct.getBalance() : 0.0);

try this :

 NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
 f.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
 double d = 0.0;
 System.out.println(f.format(d));

Output:

 $0.00
