You can use class java.text.DecimalFormat to format decimal numbers in many different ways. Look it up in the API documentation.

What would be the best pattern to convert any scientific notation to normal? I've been playing with "####################.###################", it seems to work but feels so random.

The System.out.printf method with "%.4f" (or similar) as a format String might work as well.
