DecimalFormat Negative Currency Style

Format a negative decimal as accounting-style currency where negatives appear in parentheses instead of with a minus sign.

Use DecimalFormatSymbols to set the currency symbol to '$', then create a DecimalFormat with a two-part positive;negative pattern. The \u00A4 character is the currency symbol placeholder in the pattern.

⚠️ AUTO-INPUT MODE: The input stream will automatically contain '-42.3\n'. Use Scanner's nextDouble() to read it.

Expected Output:

Amount: ($42.30)↵

= newline. The output ends with a newline — print one after the last line.
