mod using double

[praveen mars]

Hi All,
If i am using and expression like:-
number % 100D
where number is a double , it give an error saying
possible loss of precision
found : double
required: int
I understand double is not a whole number, but if i want to use an expression like above how to use it?
I will appreciate ur help in this .
ok the code is like this :--
------************************************--------------------
import java.io.*;
import pernec.global.util.*;

public class SpellinWordsForDouble{

static String sNumber = "";
static String prefix = "";
static String soFar = "";

private static void main(String [] args) throws IOException {
try
{
InputStreamReader isr= new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
sNumber = br.readLine();
double iNumber = Double.valueOf(sNumber).doubleValue();
convert(iNumber);
System.out.println((convert(iNumber)).toString());
}
catch(Exception ee)
{
ee.printStackTrace();
}
}
/*

}
}*/
private static final String[] majorNames =

}

}

convertLessThanOneThousand(n, buff2);
buff1.insert(0, buff2);
buff2.setLength(0);
}
place++;
number /= 1000.0;
} while (number > 0.0);

buff1.insert(0, prefix);
System.out.println("the number in words is--:"+buff1.toString());
return buff1.toString().trim();
}
}

the code between the lines ----****---- can be copied and when execute will
give an error at lines 74,79,....

thanks and best regards.

Hi,
Welcome to JavaRanch!
The expression number % 100d is OK, but its value is of type double; you're probably getting the error because you're assigning the result to an int, or
passing the expression to a method that wants an int argument. In either case, you have to cast the expression to the appropriate type first:

double number = 2d;
int i = (int) (number % 100d);

OK?

I cannot reproduce your problem. My similar code works just fine.

public class TestDouble
{
  
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        double d = 3.5;
        System.out.println( d % 2d );
    }
  
}
