Instead, 5.9049002E14 should be the number 59049000000000.
How to force Java not to distort numbers?

  • What does it mean not to distort? Output in the form of a fixed comma, reduce by 2000000, something else? - alexlz

    @ hitman249, the number is not distorted. That is how it is stored in memory. - Nofate ♦
  • try using the BigDecimal type. - alnasfire

It can be like this

NumberFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#"); System.out.println(df.format(5.9049002E14));

will be 590490020000000

    file:

    Main.java:

     public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(59049000000000L); } } $ javac Main.java ; java -cp . Main 59049000000000

    what am I doing wrong ? :)

      @shurik, you have a long, and @ hitman249 seems to be double. - avp

    Alternatively, you can use BigInteger .
