C# BitConverter Int64BitsToDouble

Description

BitConverter Int64BitsToDouble converts the specified 64-bit signed integer to a double-precision floating point number.

Syntax

BitConverter.Int64BitsToDouble has the following syntax.

public static double Int64BitsToDouble(
  long value
)

Parameters

BitConverter.Int64BitsToDouble has the following parameters.

• value - The number to convert.

Returns

BitConverter.Int64BitsToDouble method returns A double-precision floating point number whose value is equivalent to value.

Example

The following code example converts the bit patterns of several Int64 values to Double values with the Int64BitsToDouble method.

//from   w w  w  .  j  a v a 2 s  . co  m
using System;

class Int64BitsToDoubleDemo
{

    public static void Main( )
    {
        double doubleValue;
        doubleValue = BitConverter.Int64BitsToDouble( 0x3FF0000000000000 );

        Console.WriteLine( doubleValue );

    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
