double type

double type is for Double precision.

double type uses 64 bits to store a value.

Here is a short program that uses double variables to compute the area of a circle:


public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    double pi, r, a;

    r = 10.8888; // radius of circle
    pi = 3.1415926; // pi, approximately
    a = pi * r * r;

    System.out.println("Area of circle is " + a);
  }
}

The output:


Area of circle is 372.4859596381597
