Double (Java SE 17 & JDK 17) (original) (raw)

All Implemented Interfaces:

[Serializable](../io/Serializable.html "interface in java.io"), [Comparable](Comparable.html "interface in java.lang")<[Double](Double.html "class in java.lang")>, [Constable](constant/Constable.html "interface in java.lang.constant"), [ConstantDesc](constant/ConstantDesc.html "interface in java.lang.constant")

The Double class wraps a value of the primitive typedouble in an object. An object of typeDouble contains a single field whose type isdouble.

In addition, this class provides several methods for converting adouble to a String and aString to a double, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with adouble.

This is a value-based class; programmers should treat instances that areequal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.

Floating-point Equality, Equivalence, and Comparison

IEEE 754 floating-point values include finite nonzero values, signed zeros (+0.0 and -0.0), signed infinitiespositive infinity andnegative infinity), andNaN (not-a-number).

An equivalence relation on a set of values is a boolean relation on pairs of values that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. For more discussion of equivalence relations and object equality, see the Object.equals specification. An equivalence relation partitions the values it operates over into sets called equivalence classes. All the members of the equivalence class are equal to each other under the relation. An equivalence class may contain only a single member. At least for some purposes, all the members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other. In particular, in a numeric expression equivalent values can be substituted for one another without changing the result of the expression, meaning changing the equivalence class of the result of the expression.

Notably, the built-in == operation on floating-point values is not an equivalence relation. Despite not defining an equivalence relation, the semantics of the IEEE 754== operator were deliberately designed to meet other needs of numerical computation. There are two exceptions where the properties of an equivalence relation are not satisfied by == on floating-point values:

• If v1 and v2 are both NaN, then v1 == v2 has the value false. Therefore, for two NaN arguments the reflexive property of an equivalence relation is not satisfied by the == operator.
• If v1 represents +0.0 while v2 represents -0.0, or vice versa, then v1 == v2 has the value true even though +0.0 and -0.0 are distinguishable under various floating-point operations. For example, 1.0/+0.0 evaluates to positive infinity while1.0/-0.0 evaluates to negative infinity and positive infinity and negative infinity are neither equal to each other nor equivalent to each other. Thus, while a signed zero input most commonly determines the sign of a zero result, because of dividing by zero, +0.0 and -0.0 may not be substituted for each other in general. The sign of a zero input also has a non-substitutable effect on the result of some math library methods.

For ordered comparisons using the built-in comparison operators (<, <=, etc.), NaN values have another anomalous situation: a NaN is neither less than, nor greater than, nor equal to any value, including itself. This means the trichotomy of comparison does not hold.

To provide the appropriate semantics for equals andcompareTo methods, those methods cannot simply be wrappers around == or ordered comparison operations. Instead, equals defines NaN arguments to be equal to each other and defines +0.0 to not be equal to -0.0, restoring reflexivity. For comparisons, compareTo defines a total order where -0.0 is less than +0.0 and where a NaN is equal to itself and considered greater than positive infinity.

The operational semantics of equals and compareTo are expressed in terms of bit-wise converting the floating-point values to integral values.

The natural ordering implemented by compareTo is consistent with equals. That is, two objects are reported as equal by equals if and only if compareTo on those objects returns zero.

The adjusted behaviors defined for equals and compareTo allow instances of wrapper classes to work properly with conventional data structures. For example, defining NaN values to be equals to one another allows NaN to be used as an element of a HashSet or as the key of a HashMap. Similarly, defining compareTo as a total ordering, including +0.0, -0.0, and NaN, allows instances of wrapper classes to be used as elements of a SortedSet or as keys of aSortedMap.

• Method Details

  • 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 10_n_ ≤ m < 10_n_+1; then let a be the mathematically exact quotient of m and 10_n_ 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 method Integer.toString(int).
  How many digits must be printed for the fractional part of_m_ or a? 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 type 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 - the double 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 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 to Integer.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.

  Since:

  • valueOf

  Returns a Double object holding thedouble value represented by the argument strings.
  If s is null, then aNullPointerException 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:

  FloatValue:

  Signopt NaN

  Signopt Infinity

  Signopt FloatingPointLiteral

  Signopt HexFloatingPointLiteral

  SignedInteger

  HexFloatingPointLiteral:

  HexSignificand BinaryExponent FloatTypeSuffixopt

  HexSignificand:

  HexNumeral

  HexNumeral .

  0x HexDigitsopt . HexDigits

  0X HexDigitsopt . HexDigits

  BinaryExponent:

  BinaryExponentIndicator SignedInteger

  BinaryExponentIndicator:

  p

  P
  where Sign, FloatingPointLiteral,HexNumeral, HexDigits, SignedInteger and_FloatTypeSuffix_ are as defined in the lexical structure sections ofThe 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 todouble. 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 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 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:

         //  
         // Since this method allows integer-only strings as input

For this purpose, two double values are considered to be the same if and only if the method doubleToLongBits(double) returns the identicallong value when applied to each.
  Overrides:
  [equals](Object.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in class [Object](Object.html "class in java.lang")
  API Note:
  This method is defined in terms of doubleToLongBits(double) rather than the == operator on double values since the == operator does_not_ define an equivalence relation and to satisfy theequals contract an equivalence relation must be implemented; see this discussion for details of floating-point equality and equivalence.
  Parameters:
  obj - the reference object with which to compare.
  Returns:
  true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

  • 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 a long integer that, when given to the longBitsToDouble(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 - a double 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 the long 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 a long integer that, when given to the longBitsToDouble(long) method, will produce a floating-point value the same as the argument todoubleToRawLongBits.
  Parameters:
  value - a double precision floating-point number.
  Returns:
  the bits that represent the floating-point number.

  • 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 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 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_·2_e_-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 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 somelong 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 - any long integer.
  Returns:
  the double floating-point value with the same bit pattern.

  • compareTo

  public int compareTo(Double anotherDouble)
  Compares two Double objects numerically. This method imposes a total order on Double objects with two differences compared to the incomplete order defined by the Java language numerical comparison operators (<, <=, ==, >=, >) on double values.
  * A NaN is unordered with respect to other values and unequal to itself under the comparison operators. This method chooses to define Double.NaN to be equal to itself and greater than all other double values (including Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY).
  * Positive zero and negative zero compare equal numerically, but are distinct and distinguishable values. This method chooses to define positive zero (+0.0d), to be greater than negative zero (-0.0d).
  This ensures that the natural ordering of Double objects imposed by this method is consistent with equals; see this discussion for details of floating-point comparison and ordering.
