double without the exponent Posted: Oct 13, 2003 6:43 PM

Hi! Have a prob.

What happens is that... when I have a value of

String tempNum = 1234567890.12

...and when i convert the variable (tempNum) to a double:

double doubleNum = Double.parseDouble(tempNum);

the result of doubleNum = 1.23456789012E11.

Just like to ask if there's a possibility that you take away the E(exponent) in a value whose datatype is of double and still get the same value 1234567890.12 which is numeric? Or should I not use double if i want to reach that result?

Thanks! This would be of great help!

Maybe I just don't see it, but what exactly is the problem you're having with doubleNum? Either way it's represented, it's still the same value for calculation purposes and you can use formatting if you want to print it with the 2 decimal places.
