Method Detail
toString
public static String toString(double d)
Returns a string representation of the double
argument. All characters mentioned below are ASCII characters.
- If the argument is NaN, the result is the string "
NaN
". - Otherwise, the result is a string that represents the sign and magnitude (absolute value) of the argument. If the sign is negative, the first character of the result is '
-
' ('\u002D'
); if the sign is positive, no sign character appears in the result. As for the magnitude m:- If m is infinity, it is represented by the characters
"Infinity"
; thus, positive infinity produces the result"Infinity"
and negative infinity produces the result"-Infinity"
. - If m is zero, it is represented by the characters
"0.0"
; thus, negative zero produces the result"-0.0"
and positive zero produces the result"0.0"
. - If m is greater than or equal to 10-3 but less than 107, then it is represented as the integer part of m, in decimal form with no leading zeroes, followed by '
.
' ('\u002E'
), followed by one or more decimal digits representing the fractional part of m. - If m is less than 10-3 or greater than or equal to 107, then it is represented in so-called "computerized scientific notation." Let n be the unique integer such that 10n ≤ m < 10n+1; then let a be the mathematically exact quotient of m and 10n so that 1 ≤ a < 10. The magnitude is then represented as the integer part of a, as a single decimal digit, followed by '
.
' ('\u002E'
), followed by decimal digits representing the fractional part of a, followed by the letter 'E
' ('\u0045'
), followed by a representation of n as a decimal integer, as produced by the methodInteger.toString(int)
.
- If m is infinity, it is represented by the characters
double
. That is, suppose that x is the exact mathematical value represented by the decimal representation produced by this method for a finite nonzero argument d. Then d must be the double
value nearest to x; or if two double
values are equally close to x, then d must be one of them and the least significant bit of the significand of d must be 0
.
To create localized string representations of a floating-point value, use subclasses of NumberFormat
.
- Parameters:
-
d
- thedouble
to be converted. - Returns:
- a string representation of the argument.
toHexString
public static String toHexString(double d)
Returns a hexadecimal string representation of the double
argument. All characters mentioned below are ASCII characters.
- If the argument is NaN, the result is the string "
NaN
". - Otherwise, the result is a string that represents the sign and magnitude of the argument. If the sign is negative, the first character of the result is '
-
' ('\u002D'
); if the sign is positive, no sign character appears in the result. As for the magnitude m:- If m is infinity, it is represented by the string
"Infinity"
; thus, positive infinity produces the result"Infinity"
and negative infinity produces the result"-Infinity"
. - If m is zero, it is represented by the string
"0x0.0p0"
; thus, negative zero produces the result"-0x0.0p0"
and positive zero produces the result"0x0.0p0"
. - If m is a
double
value with a normalized representation, substrings are used to represent the significand and exponent fields. The significand is represented by the characters"0x1."
followed by a lowercase hexadecimal representation of the rest of the significand as a fraction. Trailing zeros in the hexadecimal representation are removed unless all the digits are zero, in which case a single zero is used. Next, the exponent is represented by"p"
followed by a decimal string of the unbiased exponent as if produced by a call toInteger.toString
on the exponent value. - If m is a
double
value with a subnormal representation, the significand is represented by the characters"0x0."
followed by a hexadecimal representation of the rest of the significand as a fraction. Trailing zeros in the hexadecimal representation are removed. Next, the exponent is represented by"p-1022"
. Note that there must be at least one nonzero digit in a subnormal significand.
- If m is infinity, it is represented by the string

valueOf
public static Double valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Returns a Double
object holding the double
value represented by the argument string s
.
If s
is null
, then a NullPointerException
is thrown.
Leading and trailing whitespace characters in s
are ignored. Whitespace is removed as if by the String.trim()
method; that is, both ASCII space and control characters are removed. The rest of s
should constitute a FloatValue as described by the lexical syntax rules:
where Sign, FloatingPointLiteral, HexNumeral, HexDigits, SignedInteger and FloatTypeSuffix are as defined in the lexical structure sections of The Java™ Language Specification, except that underscores are not accepted between digits. If

s
does not have the form of a FloatValue, then a NumberFormatException
is thrown. Otherwise, s
is regarded as representing an exact decimal value in the usual "computerized scientific notation" or as an exact hexadecimal value; this exact numerical value is then conceptually converted to an "infinitely precise" binary value that is then rounded to type double
by the usual round-to-nearest rule of IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic, which includes preserving the sign of a zero value. Note that the round-to-nearest rule also implies overflow and underflow behaviour; if the exact value of s
is large enough in magnitude (greater than or equal to (MAX_VALUE
+ ulp(MAX_VALUE)
/2), rounding to double
will result in an infinity and if the exact value of s
is small enough in magnitude (less than or equal to MIN_VALUE
/2), rounding to float will result in a zero. Finally, after rounding a Double
object representing this double
value is returned. To interpret localized string representations of a floating-point value, use subclasses of NumberFormat
.
Note that trailing format specifiers, specifiers that determine the type of a floating-point literal (1.0f
is a float
value; 1.0d
is a double
value), do not influence the results of this method. In other words, the numerical value of the input string is converted directly to the target floating-point type. The two-step sequence of conversions, string to float
followed by float
to double
, is not equivalent to converting a string directly to double
. For example, the float
literal 0.1f
is equal to the double
value 0.10000000149011612
; the float
literal 0.1f
represents a different numerical value than the double
literal 0.1
. (The numerical value 0.1 cannot be exactly represented in a binary floating-point number.)
To avoid calling this method on an invalid string and having a NumberFormatException
be thrown, the regular expression below can be used to screen the input string:
final String Digits = "(\\p{Digit}+)"; final String HexDigits = "(\\p{XDigit}+)"; // an exponent is 'e' or 'E' followed by an optionally // signed decimal integer. final String Exp = "[eE][+-]?"+Digits; final String fpRegex = ("[\\x00-\\x20]*"+ // Optional leading "whitespace" "[+-]?(" + // Optional sign character "NaN|" + // "NaN" string "Infinity|" + // "Infinity" string // A decimal floating-point string representing a finite positive // number without a leading sign has at most five basic pieces: // Digits . Digits ExponentPart FloatTypeSuffix // // Since this method allows integer-only strings as input // in addition to strings of floating-point literals, the // two sub-patterns below are simplifications of the grammar // productions from section 3.10.2 of // The Java Language Specification. // Digits ._opt Digits_opt ExponentPart_opt FloatTypeSuffix_opt "((("+Digits+"(\\.)?("+Digits+"?)("+Exp+")?)|"+ // .

HexDigits BinaryExponent FloatTypeSuffix_opt "(0[xX]" + HexDigits + "?(\\.)" + HexDigits + ")" + ")[pP][+-]?" + Digits + "))" + "[fFdD]?))" + "[\\x00-\\x20]*");// Optional trailing "whitespace" if (Pattern.matches(fpRegex, myString)) Double.valueOf(myString); // Will not throw NumberFormatException else { // Perform suitable alternative action }

valueOf
public static Double valueOf(double d)

doubleToLongBits(double)
doubleToLongBits
public static long doubleToLongBits(double value)
Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "double format" bit layout.
Bit 63 (the bit that is selected by the mask 0x8000000000000000L
) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 62-52 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x7ff0000000000000L
) represent the exponent. Bits 51-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x000fffffffffffffL
) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.
If the argument is positive infinity, the result is 0x7ff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is negative infinity, the result is 0xfff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is NaN, the result is 0x7ff8000000000000L
.
In all cases, the result is a long
integer that, when given to the longBitsToDouble(long)
method, will produce a floating-point value the same as the argument to doubleToLongBits
(except all NaN values are collapsed to a single "canonical" NaN value).
- Parameters:
-
value
- adouble
precision floating-point number. - Returns:
- the bits that represent the floating-point number.
doubleToRawLongBits
public static long doubleToRawLongBits(double value)
Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "double format" bit layout, preserving Not-a-Number (NaN) values.
Bit 63 (the bit that is selected by the mask 0x8000000000000000L
) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 62-52 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x7ff0000000000000L
) represent the exponent. Bits 51-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x000fffffffffffffL
) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.
If the argument is positive infinity, the result is 0x7ff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is negative infinity, the result is 0xfff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is NaN, the result is the long
integer representing the actual NaN value. Unlike the doubleToLongBits
method, doubleToRawLongBits
does not collapse all the bit patterns encoding a NaN to a single "canonical" NaN value.
In all cases, the result is a long
integer that, when given to the longBitsToDouble(long)
method, will produce a floating-point value the same as the argument to doubleToRawLongBits
.
- Parameters:
-
value
- adouble
precision floating-point number. - Returns:
- the bits that represent the floating-point number.
- Since:
- 1.3
longBitsToDouble
public static double longBitsToDouble(long bits)
Returns the double
value corresponding to a given bit representation. The argument is considered to be a representation of a floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "double format" bit layout.
If the argument is 0x7ff0000000000000L
, the result is positive infinity.
If the argument is 0xfff0000000000000L
, the result is negative infinity.
If the argument is any value in the range 0x7ff0000000000001L
through 0x7fffffffffffffffL
or in the range 0xfff0000000000001L
through 0xffffffffffffffffL
, the result is a NaN. No IEEE 754 floating-point operation provided by Java can distinguish between two NaN values of the same type with different bit patterns. Distinct values of NaN are only distinguishable by use of the Double.doubleToRawLongBits
method.
In all other cases, let s, e, and m be three values that can be computed from the argument:
int s = ((bits >> 63) == 0) ? 1 : -1; int e = (int)((bits >> 52) & 0x7ffL); long m = (e == 0) ? (bits & 0xfffffffffffffL) << 1 : (bits & 0xfffffffffffffL) | 0x10000000000000L;Then the floating-point result equals the value of the mathematical expression s·m·2e-1075.
Note that this method may not be able to return a double
NaN with exactly same bit pattern as the long
argument. IEEE 754 distinguishes between two kinds of NaNs, quiet NaNs and signaling NaNs. The differences between the two kinds of NaN are generally not visible in Java. Arithmetic operations on signaling NaNs turn them into quiet NaNs with a different, but often similar, bit pattern. However, on some processors merely copying a signaling NaN also performs that conversion. In particular, copying a signaling NaN to return it to the calling method may perform this conversion. So longBitsToDouble
may not be able to return a double
with a signaling NaN bit pattern. Consequently, for some long
values, doubleToRawLongBits(longBitsToDouble(start))
may not equal start
. Moreover, which particular bit patterns represent signaling NaNs is platform dependent; although all NaN bit patterns, quiet or signaling, must be in the NaN range identified above.
- Parameters:
-
bits
- anylong
integer. - Returns:
- the
double
floating-point value with the same bit pattern.
compareTo
public int compareTo(Double anotherDouble)
Compares two Double
objects numerically. There are two ways in which comparisons performed by this method differ from those performed by the Java language numerical comparison operators (<, <=, ==, >=, >
) when applied to primitive double
values:
-
Double.NaN
is considered by this method to be equal to itself and greater than all otherdouble
values (includingDouble.POSITIVE_INFINITY
). -
0.0d
is considered by this method to be greater than-0.0d
.
Double
objects imposed by this method is consistent with equals. - Specified by:
-
compareTo
in interfaceComparable<Double>
- Parameters:
-
anotherDouble
- theDouble
to be compared. - Returns:
- the value

compare
public static int compare(double d1, double d2)
Compares the two specified double
values. The sign of the integer value returned is the same as that of the integer that would be returned by the call:
new Double(d1).compareTo(new Double(d2))
- Parameters:
-
d1
- the firstdouble
to compare -
d2
- the seconddouble
to compare - Returns:
- the value
0
