Difference Between Big Decimal And Float / Double And Benefits
May 28, 2014
I've recently came into reading that term big decimal, but I still don't fully understand what the benefit it is or why wouldn't you just use double and say have the program stop after a certain range?
package rockjava; import java.text.NumberFormat; import java.util.Scanner; public class file4 { public static void main(String[] args)
[Code] ....
Please Input Num of Pods + Num of Keys= 20.5 Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Unknown Source) at java.util.Scanner.next(Unknown Source) at java.util.Scanner.nextFloat(Unknown Source) at alijava.file4.main(file4.java:14)
(It is not accepting double values. However working fine for integers.)
I'm having extreme difficulty in working with a Vector storing a column with a BigDecimal value, and converting that single value into a float. I'm not sure why the code was written this way, but basically, I'm working with something called a vector that has a single Big Decimal value/column (not sure what the correct terminology is), and I want to store that value in a float variable called "dp". However, I don't know how to convert from the Big Decimal to a float.
Code is below:
String s = ""; sql = "SELECT DiscountPercentRate FROM Attendees WHERE AttendeeId=" + attendeeId; Vector v2 = sqldb.getResults(sql); /*I know that sqldb.getResults(sql) returns a vector with a single BigDecimal column of 15.0, in the test example I'm using*/ if (!v2.isEmpty()) { Vector data2 = (Vector)v2.elementAt(0); if (!data2.isEmpty())
[Code] .....
In case you're wondering what the sqldb.getResults() method looks, like, here's a snippet of it - There's an else statement that triggers in my case, adding a BigDecimal column to a vector, and returns that vector.
Vector v = new Vector(); ... else { BigDecimal bd = rs.getBigDecimal(i); vCols.add(bd); } v.add(vCols); ... return v;
How can I take the single result of my SQL query in that Vector/Big Decimal thing, and turn that result into a float value?
I am trying to convert the double grossPay to 2 decimal places but cannot get it to work ,I am unsure of the correct way of doing this but this is how far I can get
I am trying to cast an integer into a double. it works but I need two decimal number after the dot and for example I can print 7.51 but how can I get it to print 7.50 and not 7.5
public int compareTo(Money o){ int d1 = (this.dollars * 100) + this.cents; int d2 = (o.dollars * 100) + o.cents; return d1 - d2; }
On my main method I have
public static void main(String[] args){ Money money1 = new Money(10, 49); Money money2 = new Money(2, 99); System.out.println("result: " + "$" + (double)money1.compareTo(money2)/100); }
It prints 7.5 but I want it to print 7.50, how do I do this .....
I'm not sure why, but whenever I try to get a value out of a double, it only extends to one decimal place. For instance, (825 / 805) would become 1.0000 (after being run through a DecimalFormat object) instead of 1.0248 like I need it to be (and should be if what I know about primitive variable types is right). Why is the double variable type not giving me the precision I want and, more importantly, how do I fix this?
I am working on a project that just calculates simple interest based upon a principal and a percent interest rate written as .xxxx from user.
I need the Loan amount and the final interest calculation to show up as a currency with commas in appropriate areas, the Rate to be expressed as X.xxx% instead of .xxxx
I keep getting this error when I compile:
C:JavaInterestCalculator.java:46: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to double principal = formatter.format(principal); ^ C:JavaInterestCalculator.java:49: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to double rate = formatter.format(rate); ^ C:JavaInterestCalculator.java:52: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to double totalInterest = formatter.format(totalInterest); ^ 3 errors
Tool completed with exit code 1
And here is my code
import java.util.Scanner; import java.text.NumberFormat; import java.text.DecimalFormat; // class declaration public class InterestCalculator { // main method declaration
for (int i = 0; i < letters.length; i++) { double relativeFreq = (onesAverage()/letters[i]); char a = characters.charAt(i); double j = score[i]; System.out.printf();//ToDo
Above is my current code. Basically- There is a string called characters of length 26 (1 char for each letter in alphabet), a double relativeFrequency value which does a calculation and the end result is a number with lots of decimal numbers. The score array has set double values within the array.
What I want to do is create a print f statement where I print out each of the values I initialized above WITH specific amounts of spaces in between. So it should be in this order:
a (spaces) j (spaces) relativeFreq (newLine).
Between J and relativeFreq there should be 4 spaces, however if the value in relativeFreq is greater than 10 (it won't be greater than 100)- then there should be 3 spaces. Everytime I try to create a printf statement my code ends up crooked for some of the values.
for (int i = 0; i < letters.length; i++) { double relativeFreq = (onesAverage()/letters[i]); char a = characters.charAt(i); double j = score[i]; System.out.printf("%c %.4s %.4s%n",a, j, relativeFreq);
I'm using eclipse. I'm going to get straight to the point and give all the info I can, if the values in the first code box are used, shouldn't these values be left after all in the second box is done:
remainder=23, arr[0]=100, div=23/10=2.3, whole=2, and decimal=3?
When I use this code, div comes out to be just (2.0).
Java Code:
int leng=10; arr[0]=123; //int arr[1]=100; //int mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); Java Code: if (arr[0]!=arr[1]){ int remainder=arr[0]-arr[1]; arr[0]=arr[0]-remainder; double div=remainder/leng; //double div=Double.valueOf(remainder/leng); int whole=(int) Math.floor(div); int decimal=(int) ((div-whole)*leng); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
I'm not sure were I'm going wrong in how div is being calculated, but I ultimately need div to be 2.3.
I've also used the second option commented out which still gives (2.0).
Will I'm tying in my code to set a default number for the JTextField that when the user decide not to put any numbers. Like let say that I want the textfield set to 0 , so then the user do not file it it won't make any problem to the program because its already has a default number.
Note: This is a small part of my code. when I leave it empty it take the 0 as a value, However, when I write in text field it also take the value of a 0 and the finalTotal is also = to 0.what I'm doing wrong.
I am getting the blank value in the array and this code is passed in IVR for playing the values since the first value is blank the prompts arrangements is disturbed. I want to replace the blank space or value by zero.
How do I write a program that shows the max and the min value of a float integer? like for example in order to get the max value of a long integer we type System.out.println(Integer.MAX_VALUE); How would I do that for a float integer?
Ok, so in my quest to achive perfect ray casting and line/plane intersection, what I believe to be my last problem is precision of a float. I need some precision (0.000) but I am dealing with the difference of (-1.000000000) and (-1.000000002), where the second number would be completely off. I looked at DecimalFormat, but that just puts it into a string, I need actual loss of precision.
Java Code:
DecimalFormat form = new DecimalFormat("0.00"); String newX = form.format(x); String newY = form.format(y); String newZ = form.format(z); x = Float.parseFloat(newX); y = Float.parseFloat(newY); z = Float.parseFloat(newZ); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
Doing an early exercise out of the Java Examples in a Nutshell book and they are asking for 'an efficient search algorithm to find the desired position' of two floats in a sorted array that bound an int. My try is below:
public static int search(int searchnum, float[] nums){ int low = 0; int high = nums.length - 1; int mid = (low + high) / 2; while(low < high){ if(nums[mid] < searchnum){
[Code] ....
This is working for the example but I would like to know if it is considered 'efficient' or even good?
I am trying to write a Float Array to a file but it is only writing the last line of the array to a file. I have also attached the entire assignment as a zip file with all required files. Here is the part of the code I am having issues with:
I am currently learning about JOption pane. Using Strings I am accepting an input from the user and by using the Interer.ParseInt(variable) option I am able to multiply this two strings using the code below.
String Length; Length = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the Length"); String Breadth; Breadth = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the Breadth"); System.out.println(" Area is " + (Integer.parseInt(Breadth) * Integer.parseInt(Length))); System.exit(0);
Now My question is... How Do I make my code accept Decimal values. E.g. My Code should accept 10.02 as Length and 20.42 as Breadth and give the product a Decimal. How Do I do this???
While doing trial and error got caught in the below scenario.
public class Crypt { public static void main (String args[]) { /*all I want is calculate a binary number (ex -: 22 , 34) using decimal base (10n). *So, I have to convert 2 p into 10n form so I have to find n in terms of p . We have x as the input. * The formula works as below. *2p =10n *p ln (2) =n ln (10) *n = p [ln(2) / ln(10)] *2 p = 10 p [ln(2) / ln(10)]
I created this program to display a square root table. Problem is all of my output is too long. I would like to round the number to 4 spaces past the decimal. Here is my code:
I have a case where I want to float a modeless popup on top of all other content. Seems like a Popup is ideal for this. Except for the following annoyances:
I don't see any way to tie its position to some owner window. You can supply an initial anchor position, but I noticed that if I drag the frame of the app window containing the JavaFX application, the Popup remains where it is and can actually appear outside the bounds of the App! I find this very disconcerting. I suppose I could bind its position to the screen coords of the Stage, but it would seem that I should not have to do this.If I minimize the app, the Popup remains visible. Rather odd given that when I called Popup.show(Window), you would think when the owner Window got hidden it would hide the owned Popups too. Again, I could probably bind to some property on the Stage, but like (1), it seems you should not have to do this.
I haven't tried this while embedding the Scene in a browser. I certainly hope that these Popups should not be allowed outside the bounds of the browser window. That spells trouble.
