    • Method Detail

      • toString

        public static String toString​(double d)
        Returns a string representation of thedouble 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 magnitudem:
          • Ifm is infinity, it is represented by the characters"Infinity"; thus, positive infinity produces the result"Infinity" and negative infinity produces the result"-Infinity".
          • Ifm 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".
          • Ifm is greater than or equal to 10-3 but less than 107, then it is represented as the integer part ofm, in decimal form with no leading zeroes, followed by '.' ('\u002E'), followed by one or more decimal digits representing the fractional part ofm.
          • Ifm is less than 10-3 or greater than or equal to 107, then it is represented in so-called "computerized scientific notation." Letn be the unique integer such that 10nm < 10n+1; then leta be the mathematically exact quotient ofm and 10n so that 1 ≤a < 10. The magnitude is then represented as the integer part ofa, as a single decimal digit, followed by '.' ('\u002E'), followed by decimal digits representing the fractional part ofa, followed by the letter 'E' ('\u0045'), followed by a representation ofn as a decimal integer, as produced by the methodInteger.toString(int).
        How many digits must be printed for the fractional part ofm ora? There must be at least one digit to represent the fractional part, and beyond that as many, but only as many, more digits as are needed to uniquely distinguish the argument value from adjacent values of typedouble. That is, suppose thatx is the exact mathematical value represented by the decimal representation produced by this method for a finite nonzero argumentd. Thend must be thedouble value nearest tox; or if twodouble values are equally close tox, thend must be one of them and the least significant bit of the significand ofd must be0.

        To create localized string representations of a floating-point value, use subclasses ofNumberFormat.

        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 thedouble 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 magnitudem:
          • Ifm is infinity, it is represented by the string"Infinity"; thus, positive infinity produces the result"Infinity" and negative infinity produces the result"-Infinity".
          • Ifm 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".
          • Ifm is adouble 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.
          • Ifm is adouble 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.

      • valueOf

        public static Double valueOf​(String s)                      throwsNumberFormatException
        Returns aDouble object holding thedouble value represented by the argument strings.

        Ifs isnull, then aNullPointerException is thrown.

        Leading and trailing whitespace characters ins are ignored. Whitespace is removed as if by theString.trim() method; that is, both ASCII space and control characters are removed. The rest ofs should constitute aFloatValue as described by the lexical syntax rules:

        FloatValue:
        SignoptNaN
        SignoptInfinity
        Signopt FloatingPointLiteral
        Signopt HexFloatingPointLiteral
        SignedInteger

        P
        whereSign,FloatingPointLiteral,HexNumeral,HexDigits,SignedInteger andFloatTypeSuffix are as defined in the lexical structure sections ofThe Java™ Language Specification, except that underscores are not accepted between digits. Ifs does not have the form of aFloatValue, then aNumberFormatException 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 typedouble 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 ofs is large enough in magnitude (greater than or equal to (MAX_VALUE +ulp(MAX_VALUE)/2), rounding todouble will result in an infinity and if the exact value ofs is small enough in magnitude (less than or equal toMIN_VALUE/2), rounding to float will result in a zero. Finally, after rounding aDouble object representing thisdouble value is returned.

        To interpret localized string representations of a floating-point value, use subclasses ofNumberFormat.

        Note that trailing format specifiers, specifiers that determine the type of a floating-point literal (1.0f is afloat value;1.0d is adouble value), donot 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 tofloat followed byfloat todouble, isnot equivalent to converting a string directly todouble. For example, thefloat literal0.1f is equal to thedouble value0.10000000149011612; thefloat literal0.1f represents a different numerical value than thedouble literal0.1. (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 aNumberFormatException 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 .

        Parameters:
        s - the string to be parsed.
        Returns:
        aDouble object holding the value represented by theString argument.
        Throws:

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(Object obj)
        Compares this object against the specified object. The result istrue if and only if the argument is notnull and is aDouble object that represents adouble that has the same value as thedouble represented by this object. For this purpose, twodouble values are considered to be the same if and only if the methoddoubleToLongBits(double) returns the identicallong value when applied to each.

        Note that in most cases, for two instances of classDouble,d1 andd2, the value ofd1.equals(d2) istrue if and only if

        d1.doubleValue() == d2.doubleValue()

        also has the valuetrue. However, there are two exceptions:

        • Ifd1 andd2 both representDouble.NaN, then theequals method returnstrue, even thoughDouble.NaN==Double.NaN has the valuefalse.
        • Ifd1 represents+0.0 whiled2 represents-0.0, or vice versa, theequal test has the valuefalse, even though+0.0==-0.0 has the valuetrue.
        This definition allows hash tables to operate properly.

        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        obj - the object to compare with.
        Returns:
        true if the objects are the same;false otherwise.

        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 mask0x8000000000000000L) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 62-52 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x7ff0000000000000L) represent the exponent. Bits 51-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x000fffffffffffffL) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.

        If the argument is positive infinity, the result is0x7ff0000000000000L.

        If the argument is negative infinity, the result is0xfff0000000000000L.

        If the argument is NaN, the result is0x7ff8000000000000L.

        In all cases, the result is along integer that, when given to thelongBitsToDouble(long) method, will produce a floating-point value the same as the argument todoubleToLongBits (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 mask0x8000000000000000L) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 62-52 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x7ff0000000000000L) represent the exponent. Bits 51-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask0x000fffffffffffffL) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.

        If the argument is positive infinity, the result is0x7ff0000000000000L.

        If the argument is negative infinity, the result is0xfff0000000000000L.

        If the argument is NaN, the result is thelong integer representing the actual NaN value. Unlike thedoubleToLongBits method,doubleToRawLongBits does not collapse all the bit patterns encoding a NaN to a single "canonical" NaN value.

        In all cases, the result is along integer that, when given to thelongBitsToDouble(long) method, will produce a floating-point value the same as the argument todoubleToRawLongBits.

        Parameters:
        value - adouble precision floating-point number.
        Returns:
        the bits that represent the floating-point number.

      • longBitsToDouble

        public static double longBitsToDouble​(long bits)
        Returns thedouble 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 is0x7ff0000000000000L, the result is positive infinity.

        If the argument is0xfff0000000000000L, the result is negative infinity.

        If the argument is any value in the range0x7ff0000000000001L through0x7fffffffffffffffL or in the range0xfff0000000000001L through0xffffffffffffffffL, 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 theDouble.doubleToRawLongBits method.

        In all other cases, lets,e, andm 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 expressions·m·2e-1075.

        Note that this method may not be able to return adouble NaN with exactly same bit pattern as thelong argument. IEEE 754 distinguishes between two kinds of NaNs, quiet NaNs andsignaling 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. SolongBitsToDouble may not be able to return adouble with a signaling NaN bit pattern. Consequently, for somelong values,doubleToRawLongBits(longBitsToDouble(start)) maynot equalstart. 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:
        thedouble floating-point value with the same bit pattern.
      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(Double anotherDouble)
        Compares twoDouble 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 primitivedouble 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.
        This ensures that thenatural ordering ofDouble objects imposed by this method isconsistent with equals.
        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface Comparable<Double>
        Parameters:
        anotherDouble - theDouble to be compared.
