With this example we are going to demonstrate how to use a double type in Java. The double data type is a double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point. For decimal values, this data type is generally the default choice. This data type should never be used for precise values, such as currency.
- In short, to create a variable of
double type you should just type the double keyword in a variable.Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.basics;
public class DoubleExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double d1 = 5445.27;
double d2 = (double)1234/33;
System.out.println("Value of double d1 is: " + d1);
System.out.println("Value of double d2 is: " + d2);
}
}
Output:
Value of double d1 is: 5445.27
Value of double d2 is: 37.39393939393939
This was an example of how to use a double type in Java.
