Java.lang.Double.toHexString() Method

---

Description

The java.lang.Double.toHexString() method returns a hexadecimal string representation of the double argument d.Some examples can be seen here −

Floating-point Value	Hexadecimal String
1.0	0x1.0p0
-1.0	-0x1.0p0
2.0	0x1.0p1
3.0	0x1.8p1
0.5	0x1.0p-1
0.25	0x1.0p-2
Double.MAX_VALUE	0x1.fffffffffffffp1023
Minimum Normal Value	0x1.0p-1022
Maximum Subnormal Value	0x0.fffffffffffffp-1022
Double.MIN_VALUE	0x0.0000000000001p-1022

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.Double.toHexString() method

public static String toHexString(double d)

Parameters

d − This is the double to be converted.

Return Value

This method returns a hex string representation of the argument.

Exception

NA

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Double.toHexString() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class DoubleDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      Double d = new Double("4.0");

      /* returns a hexadecimal string representation of the
         double argument */
      String str = d.toHexString(1.0);
      System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
    
      str = d.toHexString(3.0);
      System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
    
      str = d.toHexString(0.25);
      System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
    
      str = d.toHexString(Double.MAX_VALUE);
      System.out.println("Hex String = " + str);
   }
}  

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Hex String = 0x1.0p0
Hex String = 0x1.8p1
Hex String = 0x1.0p-2
Hex String = 0x1.fffffffffffffp1023
