12. Double precision    coderanch.com

If you create a BigDecimal object from your double value, then you can set the scale (2) and choose your rounding method (looks like you want ROUND_DOWN or ROUND_FLOOR). After that, you can return to a type double if you like. This might be all you need, but suppose the result is 49.9 and you want to display a zero in ...

14. Single & double Precision    coderanch.com

Hi, Sunanda! The single and double precision refer to the IEEE 754-1985 standard. For Java the following is true: single prec -> 32 bits -> Min = 1.43e-45 -> Max = 3.4e38 Double prec -> 64 bits -> Min = 4.942-324 -> Max = 1.8e308 As you can see, double precision can hold much larger values then the single precision. You ...
