How to display currency without rounding as string in Xcode?

I have trouble when I have currency value

999999999999999999.99

From that value, I want to display it as String. The problem is that value always rounded to

1000000000000000000.00

I'm not expect that value rounded. I want the original value displayed. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? I tried this code from some answer/turorial in stackoverflow.com :

NSMutableString *aString = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:30];

NSNumberFormatter *aCurrency = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc]init];
[aCurrency setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4];
[aCurrency setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];   
[aCurrency setMinimumFractionDigits:2];
[aCurrency setMaximumFractionDigits:2];
[aString appendString:[aCurrency stringFromNumber:productPrice]];
//productPrice is NSDecimalNu开发者_C百科mber which is have value 999999999999999999.99

cell.textLabel.text = aString;
NSLog(@"the price = %@",cell.textLabel.text);
//it prints $1,000,000,000,000,000,000.00
[aCurrency release];

Unless you have very good reasons not to, it is generally best to keep currency values in a fixed-point format, rather than floating point. Ada supports this directly, but for C-ish languages what you do is keep the value in units of pennies, rather than dollars, and only do the conversion whenever you go to display it.

So in this case the value of productPrice would be 99999999999999999999 (cents). To display it, you'd do something like this (If this were C. I don't know the language):

int const modulus = productPrice % 100;
printf ("The price = %d.%d\n", (int) ((productPrice - modulus) / 100), modulus);

I'd also use an integer rather than a floating point variable to keep the value in almost all cases. It won't work in this case (even if you use a 64-bit integer) because your value is mind-bogglingly large. We're talking 1 million times larger than the US National Debt! If a dollar value that large ever makes sense for anything in my lifetime, we are all in big trouble.
