Java.lang.Double Class
Java Double Class
The Double class in the Java.lang package encapsulates a value of the primitive type double in an object. A single field of type double is included in a Double object. This class also has methods for converting a double to a String and a String to a double, as well as other essential constants and methods for working with doubles. Let us now begin with Java.lang.Double Class.
Class declaration
The declaration of java.lang.Double class is:
public final class Double
extends Number
implements Comparable<Double>

java.lang.Double Methods
The java.lang.Double class has a number of methods which are listed below:
Member Methods
| S.N | Methods & Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | byte byteValue() Returns the value of this Double as a byte after a narrowing primitive conversion. |
| 2. | static int compare(double d1, double d2) Compares the two specified double values. |
| 3. | int compareTo(Double anotherDouble) Compares two Double objects numerically. |
| 4. | static long doubleToLongBits(double value) Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point “double format” bit layout. |
| 5. | static long doubleToRawLongBits(double value) Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point “double format” bit layout, preserving Not-a-Number (NaN) values. |
| 6. | double doubleValue() Returns the double value of this Double object. |
| 7. | boolean equals(Object obj) Compares this object against the specified object. |
