C# BitConverter DoubleToInt64Bits

Description

BitConverter DoubleToInt64Bits converts the specified double-precision floating point number to a 64-bit signed integer.

Syntax

BitConverter.DoubleToInt64Bits has the following syntax.

public static long DoubleToInt64Bits(
  double value
)

Parameters

BitConverter.DoubleToInt64Bits has the following parameters.

• value - The number to convert.

Returns

BitConverter.DoubleToInt64Bits method returns A 64-bit signed integer whose value is equivalent to value.

Example

The following code example converts the bit patterns of Double values to Int64 values with the DoubleToInt64Bits method.

using System;//w ww  . j  a  v a2 s . c  o  m

public class DoubleToInt64BitsDemo
{
    public static void Main(){

        long longValue;
        longValue = BitConverter.DoubleToInt64Bits( 15.0 );

        Console.WriteLine( longValue );

    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
