I need to store 17774132 in a double format,
but it seems that double is to small since I get 1.7774132E7.
How can I overcome this problem? I need some kind of primitive that can hold it with floating point.
Thank you
In java if you want accurate calculations for large numbers with fractions, you should use java.math.BigDecimal class. The integer counterpart is java.math.BigInteger.
Also I think double can accomodate 17774132, it’s just showing the value in something called as “E Notation” which a Scientific notation to denote numbers. Refer to this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation#E_notation
