Problem while storing large value in double variable

[Baseet Ahmed]

Hi,
I want to know the following:

We are calculating the amount for balance.
The value which we are getting is very large,hence causing the value to be converted in exponential format(e.g 12.3E+4).
Now we want to show the users the amount on JSP without exponent symbol.We are using double data type.
Please suggest which data type should I use?
And what other possibilities?


Thank you

It's not the data type -- it's just how you're converting the value to a String. If you use the java.text.DecimalFormat class, it lets you specify exactly what you want your output numbers to look like.

Can you provide the example for the same.
(e.g 123.245E47 to be displayed as simple number without exponent.


Thank you.
