//I assume you want to output from java

import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
class cal2
      {
       public static void main(String args[])
              {
         double d = 999999999999.999;
  String pattern = "###,###,###,###,###.00"; 
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(new Locale("en_US"));
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
  df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output2 = df.format(d);
System.out.println(pattern);
System.out.println(output2);

double yourNum =  12.0000;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
output2 = df.format(yourNum);
System.out.println("$"+output2);
              }
      }
