12,345,678.00
$12,345,678.00
1234567800.00%
Press any key to continue . . .

Explanation:

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a Main() method. In the Main() method, we created two variables result and num, here variable num initialized with "12345678".

result = Format(num, "General Number")
Console.WriteLine(result)

result = Format(num, "Fixed")
Console.WriteLine(result)

result = Format(num, "Standard")
Console.WriteLine(result)

result = Format(num, "Currency")
Console.WriteLine(result)

result = Format(num, "Percent")
Console.WriteLine(result)

In the above code, we used function Format(), here we passed numbers and different style arguments and then we printed the formatted number on the console screen.
