I wrote a class that tests for equality, less than, and greater than with two doubles in Java. My general case is comparing price that can have an accuracy of ... |

I was looking at the implementation of compare(double, double) in the Java standard library (6). It reads:
public static int compare(double d1, double d2) {
if (d1 < d2)

Here is the output for the below program.
value is : 2.7755575615628914E-17
Double.compare with zero : 1
isEqual with zero : true
My question is, what should be an epsilon value? Is there any robust ... |
Why String return true but Double return false ?
String s1 = "a";
String s2 = "a";
System.out.println(s1 == s2); // true
Double d1 = 1D;
Double d2 = 1D;
System.out.println(d1 == d2); // false
I have ... |
I really can'get my head around why the following happens:
Double d = 0.0;
System.out.println(d == 0); // is true
System.out.println(d.equals(0)); // is false ?!
This however works as expected:
Double d = 0.0;
System.out.println(d == 0.0); ...

I wrote a little program to calculate the first 18 triples (x,y,z) with x<y<z, which satisfy x^3+y^3=z^3+1.
While playing around to optimise the total runtime, I discovered, that using double for the ... |

You can't do it in one statement. Compare one statement to another and store the greatest value in a temp variable. Then compare the temp variable to the third variable and store the greate value in the temp variable...etc, until you've gone through all of the values. Math.max() is a useful method for this comparison. |
Hello, I have a simple comparison of two double numbers. The same comparison when put in println function gives the correct response (see in the output) but the same comparison if assigned to a boolean value gives a wrong response; I tried to compare numbers inside if condition, in a boolean variable, in reverse for (i.e: gone > MAX_MOVE) but every ... |
Hi, I have requirement to check following value1 = "99999999999.00" value2 = "123122.55"; double d1 = Double.parse(value1) ; double d2 = Double.parse(value2) ; if(d1>d2){ sop("Big") } else{ sop("small") } Expected output is Big but giving me small.

Hi all, I want to compare 2 values to two decimal places, basically monetary values. I know about precision issues with straight up double comparison using ==, so to check are two values equal (to 2 places) I do the following: ... private static final BigDecimal PLUS_ZERO = new BigDecimal("0.00"); private static final BigDecimal MINUS_ZERO = new BigDecimal("-0.00"); public boolean compareMoney(final ... |

Actually what I was saying was that you can't store, say, 1.2 accurately in a binary floating point number for the same reason you can't express 1/3 as a decimal number, and that converting a the nearest float value to 1.2 to BigDecimal won't trim off all those extra decimal places unless you specify the number of places the conversion rounds ... |

Hi, I'm working on a root finder function (something like Bissection or Newton) and I'm facing one doubt Use doubles to perform the algorithm or use BigDecimal? doubles give me faster computing but at some point I must compare the results with zero.For example I'm getting -1.0 0.25 -0.4375 -0.109375 0.06640625 -0.0224609375 0.021728515625 -4.2724609375E-4 0.0106353759765625 0.005100250244140625 0.0023355484008789062 9.539127349853516E-4 ...
