Java.lang.Double Class

Java Double Class

Java.lang package provides a Double class which wraps a value of the primitive type double in an object. An object of type Double contains a single field whose type is double.

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

Class declaration

The declaration of java.lang.Double class is:

public final class Double
  extends Number
    implements Comparable<Double>

java.lang.Double Methods

The java.lang.Double class has a number of methods which are listed below:

Member Methods

S.N	Methods & Description
1.	byte byteValue() Returns the value of this Double as a byte after a narrowing primitive conversion.
2.	static int compare(double d1, double d2) Compares the two specified double values.
3.	int compareTo(Double anotherDouble) Compares two Double objects numerically.
4.	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.
5.	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.
6.	double doubleValue() Returns the double value of this Double object.
7.	boolean equals(Object obj) Compares this object against the specified object.
8.	float floatValue() Returns the value of this Double as a float after a narrowing primitive conversion.

15.	boolean isNaN() Returns true if this Double value is a Not-a-Number (NaN), false otherwise.
16.	static boolean isNaN(double v) Returns true if the specified number is a Not-a-Number (NaN) value, false otherwise.
17.	static double longBitsToDouble(long bits) Returns the double value corresponding to a given bit representation.
18.	long longValue() Returns the value of this Double as a long after a narrowing primitive conversion.
19.	static double max(double a, double b) Returns the greater of two double values as if by calling Math.max.
20.	static double min(double a, double b) Returns the smaller of two double values as if by calling Math.min.
21.	static double parseDouble(String s) Returns a new double initialized to the value represented by the specified String, as performed by the valueOf method of class Double.
22.	short shortValue() Returns the value of this Double as a short after a narrowing primitive conversion.
