Double number Display problem

Question

Hi,
in my programe i have the following calculation
double a= 12;
double b= 74;
tonum = Math.pow(a,b);
charcount = new Double(count).toString();
System.out.println("The value of charcount is : "+ charcount);
when i do this it displays "7.234561410946297E79"
how do i display the number without this "E" ??
thanks

Answer 1

The problem is you cannot get 7*10^79 into a long.
I slammed out this code:
<code>
import java.text.NumberFormat;
public class Test {
     public static void main( String[] arg ) {
          double d = 7.234561410946297E79;
          System.out.println( NumberFormat.getInstance().format( d ));
</code>
and got this output:
72,345,614,109,462,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Probably still not exactly what you are looking for, but take a look at the NumberFormat class and see if you think it will work for you.
