Working with Decimal values

[Rudy Rodriguez]

Hi

I am working on a program that reads in decimal values.
I have the input set as Double.
for example : 23.0, 23.0, 24.0, 24.0, 25.0, 25.0, 25.234, 25.234, 25.342, 25.342, 26.0

I am trying to perform different functions depending on the value of the data.
For example if 23.0 I want to do function 1.
for value 25.234 I want to do function 2.

What is the best way to differentiate the whole number value from the value with numbers to the right of the decimal.

Thanks
Rudy

Because of the imprecision always associated with floating point arithmetic, there is probably not a "best" way, but have you tried
. . . if (number % 1 == 0.0) . . .
?

You might also want to look at BigDecimal and use the scale method to check how many numbers are to the right of the decimal point.
