Converting Floating Point to String

Question

I'm pretty new to Java and I am currently working on a project where I need to work with Floating points.

I am trying to convert the value from 3.5E8 (Double value) to a string value of 350000000. I have looked on the internet but currently I can't find a solution.

way2java.com/string-and-stringbuffer/… + many other conversion/casting examples. Recomend to book — Viliam

Although the answers so far will work for 3.5E8, they may not do what you want for some other inputs. You need to consider the range of inputs before selecting a solution. — Patricia Shanahan

try String.format

String str = String.format("%.0f",3.5E8);

or

String str = new DecimalFormat("#.#").format(3.5E8);

You can use the BigDecimal class , toPlainString() method :

Returns a string representation of this BigDecimal without an exponent field.

 System.out.println(new BigDecimal(doubleValue).toPlainString());
