double type double is 'data type' in java that contains 64 bits. It is numeric data type, it contain decimal numbers only which contain two parts: significant digit(mantissa) and exponent .. eg.. double dl=123.456d; //variable declaration nw 123.456=1.23456e2 OR 1.23456E2 baljeet 09-23-2014 11:16 AM

Double type Double is the data type having double precision and consists of 64 bit floating point. This is the default data type used for decimal values. It has two parts Significant digits and exponent part. Significant digit is the integer number for example 1, 123, 12345, etc. whereas exponent parts are 1*10^1, 123*10^4, etc. It is not recommended to use this data type for precise values like currency,etc. It covers a range from 4.94065645841246544e-324d to 1.79769313486231570e+308d (positive or negative). Where the examples of double is given below: Default value is 0.0d. double d1 = 123.4 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-4.html#jls-4.2.3 Rohit Sharma 07-28-2014 02:27 AM

ans The answer would be significant digits and exponent. But 'significant digits' would usually be named 'mantissa' or fraction. doubles in Java are represented in IEEE 754 Refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format Nhung 01-24-2014 01:39 PM
