AccountingForm¶

Formats a number in accounting notation: like NumberForm, but negative numbers are shown in parentheses instead of with a minus sign.

$ wo 'ToString[AccountingForm[1234.5]]'
1234.5

$ wo 'ToString[AccountingForm[-1234.5]]'
(1234.5)

A second argument gives the number of significant figures.

$ wo 'ToString[AccountingForm[1234.5678, 3]]'
1230.
