Power of a number ?

[Abhinav Yadav]

how can we directly find the power of a number in java ,as in C language there is a function math.pow() is any such type of function provided by java?

Eh Math.pow() maybe.

Java has also Math.pow function:

thanks
it worked
but what should i do to make all the numbers to be printed and not the exponential part
eg if i did

Double a=Math.pow(95.123,12)  // the out put is 5.4881562051773216E23

what should be done to print the exact no. i.e
548815620517731830194541.899025343415715973535967221869852721

Why don't you try to search for it? Because one maybe a couple searches and you'll find the answer.

Hint: The double you are using is a "primitive type". If you find the Java™ Tutorials, there is a section about primitive types and it gives a hint for exactly what you want there.

Switch to BigDecimal. That's the only class in the core API that fully preserves full precision.
