The Class object that represents the primitive type double.

Public Constructors

public Double (double value)

Constructs a new Double with the specified primitive double value.

Parameters

Public Methods

public byte byteValue ()

Returns this object's value as a byte. Might involve rounding and/or truncating the value, so it fits into a byte.

Returns
  • the primitive byte value of this object.

public static int compare (double double1, double double2)

Compares the two specified double values. There are two special cases:

  • Double.NaN is equal to Double.NaN and it is greater than any other double value, including Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
  • +0.0d is greater than -0.0d

Parameters
double1 the first value to compare.
double2 the second value to compare.
Returns
  • a negative value if double1 is less than double2; 0 if double1 and double2 are equal; a positive value if double1 is greater than double2.

public int compareTo (Double object)

Compares this object to the specified double object to determine their relative order. There are two special cases:

  • Double.NaN is equal to Double.NaN and it is greater than any other double value, including Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
  • +0.0d is greater than -0.0d

Parameters
object the double object to compare this object to.
Returns
  • a negative value if the value of this double is less than the value of object; 0 if the value of this double and the value of object are equal; a positive value if the value of this double is greater than the value of object.
See Also

public static long doubleToLongBits (double value)

Converts the specified double value to a binary representation conforming to the IEEE 754 floating-point double precision bit layout. All Not-a-Number (NaN) values are converted to a single NaN representation (0x7ff8000000000000L).

Parameters
value the double value to convert.
Returns
  • the IEEE 754 floating-point double precision representation of value.
See Also

public static long doubleToRawLongBits (double value)

Converts the specified double value to a binary representation conforming to the IEEE 754 floating-point double precision bit layout. Not-a-Number (NaN) values are preserved.

Parameters
value the double value to convert.
Returns
  • the IEEE 754 floating-point double precision representation of value.
See Also

public double doubleValue ()

Gets the primitive value of this double.

Returns
  • this object's primitive value.

public boolean equals (Object object)

Compares this object with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. In order to be equal, object must be an instance of Double and the bit pattern of its double value is the same as this object's.

Parameters
object the object to compare this double with.
Returns
  • true if the specified object is equal to this Double; false otherwise.

public float floatValue ()

Returns this object's value as a float. Might involve rounding.

Returns
  • the primitive float value of this object.

public int hashCode ()

Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which equals(Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

Returns
  • this object's hash code.

public int intValue ()

Returns this object's value as an int. Might involve rounding and/or truncating the value, so it fits into an int.

Returns
  • the primitive int value of this object.

public static boolean isInfinite (double d)

Indicates whether the specified double represents an infinite value.

Parameters
d the double to check.
Returns
  • true if the value of d is positive or negative infinity; false otherwise.

public boolean isInfinite ()

Indicates whether this object represents an infinite value.

Returns
  • true if the value of this double is positive or negative infinity; false otherwise.

public static boolean isNaN (double d)

Indicates whether the specified double is a Not-a-Number (NaN) value.

Parameters
d the double value to check.
Returns
  • true if d is Not-a-Number; false if it is a (potentially infinite) double number.

public boolean isNaN ()

Indicates whether this object is a Not-a-Number (NaN) value.

Returns
  • true if this double is Not-a-Number; false if it is a (potentially infinite) double number.

public static double longBitsToDouble (long bits)

Converts the specified IEEE 754 floating-point double precision bit pattern to a Java double value.

Parameters
bits the IEEE 754 floating-point double precision representation of a double value.
Returns
  • the double value converted from bits.
See Also

public long longValue ()

Returns this object's value as a long. Might involve rounding and/or truncating the value, so it fits into a long.

Returns
  • the primitive long value of this object.

public static double parseDouble (String string)

Parses the specified string as a double value.

Parameters
string the string representation of a double value.
Returns
  • the primitive double value represented by string.
Throws
NumberFormatException if string is null, has a length of zero or can not be parsed as a double value.

public short shortValue ()

Returns this object's value as a short. Might involve rounding and/or truncating the value, so it fits into a short.

Returns
  • the primitive short value of this object.

public static String toHexString (double d)

Converts the specified double into its hexadecimal string representation.

Parameters
d the double to convert.
Returns
  • the hexadecimal string representation of d.

public String toString ()

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation simply concatenates the class name, the '@' sign and a hexadecimal representation of the object's hashCode(), that is, it is equivalent to the following expression: 

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

Returns
  • a printable representation of this object.

public static String toString (double d)

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the specified double value.

Parameters
d the double to convert to a string.
Returns
  • a printable representation of d.

public static Double valueOf (String string)

Parses the specified string as a double value.

Parameters
string the string representation of a double value.
Returns
  • a Double instance containing the double value represented by string.
Throws
NumberFormatException if string is null, has a length of zero or can not be parsed as a double value.
See Also

public static Double valueOf (double d)

Returns a Double instance for the specified double value.

Parameters
d the double value to store in the instance.
Returns
  • a Double instance containing d.
