How to convert String to Double or Double to String in java | Double example

Double String example

The string is a sequence of characters enclosed in double-quotes.

Double is the numeric data type of double-precision floating values that hold double primitive types. Both have different values for different purposes. Sometimes, In our applications, It is required to convert a string to double or vice-versa in java.

It is a basic common requirement for knowing developers. Double holds 64 bits numbers, double value has d or D added to its value. d or D is not compulsory.

Example

String s=new String("123.45");  
String s1="23.45";  
Double d=new Double("123.45");  
Double d1=123.34D;  
Double d2=123.34d;  

The string should contain a sequence of characters enclosed in double-quotes For conversion, the String should be valid numeric characters enclosed in double-quotes, If non-numeric characters are there in the string, NumberFormatException will be thrown.

This post talks about how to do the conversion.

java.text.DecimalFormat class uses to format a numeric value and convert it into String. A decimal format object creates with the constructor of the format parameter, format method is used to return the string value.

Double d= 4578.536;

The output is 8978.78

using String format() method

format() method of a string accepts value and format and converts the value as per format. String.format(format,…object) The format is %.4f" represents four floating decimals.

Double doubleValue=234.345;  
String stringValue = String.format("%.4f", doubleValue);  
System.out.println(stringValue);  

Output is 234.3450
