The Double
class 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
.
Floating-point Equality, Equivalence, and Comparison
IEEE 754 floating-point values include finite nonzero values, signed zeros (+0.0
and -0.0
), signed infinities positive infinity and negative infinity), and NaN (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
andv2
are both NaN, thenv1 == v2
has the valuefalse
. Therefore, for two NaN arguments the reflexive property of an equivalence relation is not satisfied by the==
operator. - If
v1
represents+0.0
whilev2
represents-0.0
, or vice versa, thenv1 == v2
has the valuetrue
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
and compareTo
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 a SortedMap
.

Public methods
compare
static fun compare(
d1: Double,
d2: Double
): Int
Compares the two specified double
values. The sign of the integer value returned is the same as that of the integer that would be returned by the call:
new Double(d1).compareTo(new Double(d2))
Parameters | |
---|---|
d1 |
Double: the first double to compare |
d2 |
Double: the second double to compare |
Return | |
---|---|
Int |
the value 0 if d1 is numerically equal to d2 ; a value less than 0 if d1 is numerically less than d2 ; and a value greater than 0 if d1 is numerically greater than d2 . |
compareTo
fun compareTo(other: Double): Int
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 otherdouble
values (includingDouble.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
).
Double
objects imposed by this method is consistent with equals; see this discussion for details of floating-point comparison and ordering.
Parameters | |
---|---|
o |
the object to be compared. |
anotherDouble |
the Double to be compared. |
Return | |
---|---|
Int |
the value 0 if anotherDouble is numerically equal to this Double ; a value less than 0 if this Double is numerically less than anotherDouble ; and a value greater than 0 if this Double is numerically greater than anotherDouble . |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.lang.NullPointerException |
if the specified object is null |
java.lang.ClassCastException |
if the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this object. |
doubleToLongBits
static fun doubleToLongBits(value: Double): Long
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 mask 0x8000000000000000L
) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 62-52 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x7ff0000000000000L
) represent the exponent. Bits 51-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x000fffffffffffffL
) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.
If the argument is positive infinity, the result is 0x7ff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is negative infinity, the result is 0xfff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is NaN, the result is 0x7ff8000000000000L
.
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 to doubleToLongBits
(except all NaN values are collapsed to a single "canonical" NaN value).
Parameters | |
---|---|
value |
Double: a double precision floating-point number. |
Return | |
---|---|
Long |
the bits that represent the floating-point number. |
doubleToRawLongBits
static fun doubleToRawLongBits(value: Double): Long
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 mask 0x8000000000000000L
) represents the sign of the floating-point number. Bits 62-52 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x7ff0000000000000L
) represent the exponent. Bits 51-0 (the bits that are selected by the mask 0x000fffffffffffffL
) represent the significand (sometimes called the mantissa) of the floating-point number.
If the argument is positive infinity, the result is 0x7ff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is negative infinity, the result is 0xfff0000000000000L
.
If the argument is NaN, the result is the long
integer representing the actual NaN value. Unlike the doubleToLongBits
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 to doubleToRawLongBits
.

if and only if the argument is not null
and is a Double
object that represents a double
that has the same value as the double
represented by this object. For this purpose, two double
values are considered to be the same if and only if the method doubleToLongBits(double)
returns the identical long
value when applied to each.

object. The result is the exclusive OR of the two halves of the long
integer bit representation, exactly as produced by the method doubleToLongBits(double)
, of the primitive double
value represented by this Double
object. That is, the hash code is the value of the expression: (int)(v^(v>>>32))
where v
is defined by: long v = Double.doubleToLongBits(this.doubleValue());

longBitsToDouble
static fun longBitsToDouble(bits: Long): Double
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 range 0x7ff0000000000001L
through 0x7fffffffffffffffL
or in the range 0xfff0000000000001L
through 0xffffffffffffffffL
, 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:
<code>int s = ((bits >> 63) == 0) ? 1 : -1; int e = (int)((bits >> 52) & 0x7ffL); long m = (e == 0) ? (bits & 0xfffffffffffffL) << 1 : (bits & 0xfffffffffffffL) | 0x10000000000000L; </code>
Note that this method may not be able to return a double
NaN with exactly same bit pattern as the long
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 some long
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.

toString
static fun toString(d: Double): String
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 '
-
' ('\u005Cu002D'
); 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 '
.
' ('\u005Cu002E'
), 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 10n ≤ m < 10n+1; then let a be the mathematically exact quotient of m and 10n so that 1 ≤ a < 10. The magnitude is then represented as the integer part of a, as a single decimal digit, followed by '
.
' ('\u005Cu002E'
), followed by decimal digits representing the fractional part of a, followed by the letter 'E
' ('\u005Cu0045'
), followed by a representation of n as a decimal integer, as produced by the methodInteger.toString(int)
.
- If m is infinity, it is represented by the characters
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 java.text.NumberFormat
.

instance is not required, this method should generally be used in preference to the constructor Double(double)

is null
, then a NullPointerException
is thrown.
Leading and trailing whitespace characters in s
are ignored. Whitespace is removed as if by the java.lang.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.
HexDigits0X

- BinaryExponent:
- BinaryExponentIndicator SignedInteger
- BinaryExponentIndicator:
p

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 .
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 to double
. 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
literal 0.1
. (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:
<code>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 . Digits ExponentPart FloatTypeSuffix // // Since this method allows integer-only strings as input // in addition to strings of floating-point literals, the // two sub-patterns below are simplifications of the grammar // productions from section 3.10.2 of // The Java Language Specification. // Digits ._opt Digits_opt ExponentPart_opt FloatTypeSuffix_opt "((("+Digits+"(\\.)?("+Digits+"?)("+Exp+")?)|"+ // . Digits ExponentPart_opt FloatTypeSuffix_opt "(\\.("+Digits+")("+Exp+")?)|"+ // Hexadecimal strings "((" + // 0[xX] HexDigits ._opt BinaryExponent FloatTypeSuffix_opt "(0[xX]" + HexDigits + "(\\.)?)|" + // 0[xX] HexDigits_opt . HexDigits BinaryExponent FloatTypeSuffix_opt "(0[xX]" + HexDigits + "?(\\.)" + HexDigits + ")" + ")[pP][+-]?" + Digits + "))" + "[fFdD]?))" + "[\\x00-\\x20]*");// Optional trailing "whitespace" if (Pattern.matches(fpRegex, myString)) Double.valueOf(myString); // Will not throw NumberFormatException else { // Perform suitable alternative action } </code>
