How do you turn a List into a String?

Hi,
Have a simple question for all of you out there, hope you can help:

For example:

Re: cannot be applied to (double,java.lang.String)

It's telling you what the problem is -- you're trying to pass a String in where a double is required. Java is a strongly typed language, which means that you can't expect types to change automatically into other types as needed.
You could, I suppose, parse the string, assuming that it holds a representation of a double. But if you look at the method in question, you'll see that it doesn't even use its second (double) argument.
So you should ask yourself:
1) should that method really take two arguments?
2) what is the second argument for, if I did use it?
3) what is the best type to represent the second argument?
(hint: with a name like "customerType", then an enum seems likely)
[add]
Too slow again.
Though I'll also add: please wrap any code you post in [code][/code] tags. It makes your code much easier to read.

pow(double,double) in java.lang.Math cannot be
applied to (double,java.lang.String)Read the error diagnostic carefully: the compiler found a pow() method
in the Math class, but it takes two doubles as its arguments. You,
however, supplied a double and a String as the parameter types.
The method found by the compiler cannot be applied to your parameters.
hint: you have to convert that String to a double,

Converting a Double To A String

Is it possible to convert a double to a string. I need to retrieve a double value from an array and display it as a label in an applet.
How do I convert the double value to a string so that I can use it in the applet as a label?
Thanks

try this.
double mydbl = 0;
String mystr = null;
mysstr=mydbl+"".trim();
Paulthis one is nice paul, but it is also possible to do it that way:
double d = 0;
String dStr = Double.toString(d);see also API for classes Boolean, Character, Integer, Byte, Float, Short
all primitives can easyli be turned int for in which you can print them out.

Lost Digits of big Number - convert Double into Hex

My Number is 24563383270390080
if i debug the Variable it has got a value of 2.45633832703901e+016, so i lost a little bit of the value.
if i bring ist into a sting, i can see the complete value "24563383270390080"
i have to convert the number in to a Hex-Value, the Reuslt should be "$57444456503941" an can be written into a string.
my problem is to bring the original value into a string of hex, because diadem round the last digits of my number
i tryed several convertions, but the the probmel of lost digits is still there....
maybe you´ve got an idea
dim Number, NumberString, HexTest1, HexTest2, HexTarget
Number = 24563383270390080 '17 Digits
HexTarget = "$57444456503941"
NumberString = Str(Number, "d")
HexTest1 = Str((Data.Root.ChannelGroups("Neu").Channels("Vin_Data").Values(1)), "$")
HexTest2 = Str(Val(Number), "$")
'---> Result
''--> Number = 2.45633832703901e+016
'--> NumberString = "24563383270390080"
'--> HexTarget = "$57444456503941"
'--> HextTest1 = $57444456503940 !!!!! Last Postion !!!!
'--> HextTest2 = $57444456503940

You are a little bit out of luck with your example because
dim number : Number = 24563383270390080 '17 Digits
dim txt
txt = txt & Str(Number, "d") & " ref: 24563383270390080" & VBCRLF
txt = txt & Str(Number, "$") & " ref: $57444456503940" & VBCRLF
MsgBox txt
0 at the end is correct. (At least the MS calculator says so.) But this is by incident because of the number you picked.
VBS only supports 64 bit double values. 64 bit doubles have a mantissa of 52 bits.
24563383270390080
becomes
1010111010001000100010001010110010100000011100101000000
which has 55 bit in use. Because your last bits aren't in use the number you picked can be represented by a double without loosing precission.
24563383270390081
would show the behavior you described because it is using 55bit range. The 1 is just cut when converted to double.
But I have no solution for this because it will not work with VBS.

Converting a Labview time into a string with Measurement Studio C++

In my Measurement Studio-based C++ application, I'll be sent a Labview
time in the format of a double, which I believe is seconds since 1904.
Does Measurement Studio for Visual C++ contain a function that will
convert that time value into a string format? I'd like to end up with
something like "hh:mm:ss:msec". I'm basically looking for the
equivalent of the Labview vi, "Format Time/Date String". If Measurement
Studio doesn't provide this, is there some other (hopefully simple) way
to do this?
I can request that the Labview application send me time in a string
format as well as a double; this will require several changes to the
Labview application sending the timestamp, but if that is a simpler
solution that's the option we'll take.
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Measurement Studio does not have a function for this, but you can do
this yourself by first converting from LV epoch (1/1/1904) to Unix
epoch(1/1/1970) and then using c runtime time functions
UNIXEpochOffset is the difference between the 2 epochs at GMT. To
convert to a UNIX system clock value, just subtract the sum of this
number and your time zone offset in seconds
lvTime is the value returned by LV timestamp
#define UNIXEpochOffset 2082844800
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
    __int64 lvTime = 3214396284; //10:48:13.173 AM 11/9/2005
    //GMT offset for Central Time is -6 (3600 seconds). You will need to account for daylight savings time.
    int offset = -3600;
    time_t unixTime = lvTime - UNIXEpochOffset - offset;
    struct tm *newtime = localtime(&unixTime);
    printf(asctime( newtime )); //prints out the time in a string format.
    return 0;

Putting a double into a label?

I'm having trouble with this:
finalPrice = (weightEntry * .89);
//strFinalPrice = Double.(finalPrice);
whatToDo.setText(finalPrice);whatToDo is declared as a label
finalPrice is declared as a double
The error im getting is that setText cant be applied to a double.

When I have
strFinalPrice = finalPrice;
I get incompatible types, how can I format it into a string?

How to catch exception into a String variable ?

I have a code
catch(Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
            logger.error("\n Exception in method Process"+e.getMessage());
        }when i open log i find
Exception in method Process null.
But i get a long error message in the server console !! I think thats coming from e.printStackTrace().
can i get the error message from e.printStackTrace() into a String variable ?
I want the first line of that big stacktrace in a String variable.
How ?

A trick is to issue e.printStackTrace() against a memory-based output object.
void      printStackTrace(PrintStream s)
         // Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print stream.
void      printStackTrace(PrintWriter s)
//          Prints this throwable and its backtrace to the specified print writer.Edited by: BIJ001 on Oct 5, 2007 8:54 AM

Need to convert a long into a string, please

hi there
i need to convert a long into a string. can i just cast it like this:
(String)longNumber = some function that returns a long;

Why not just use Long.toString()? If you start with a long value, you can create a Long object and get it's value as a String.

CAN I TURN MY MACBOOK PRO INTO A MONITOR?

Help I want to turn my Macbook Pro into a monitor for my Playstation 2 so that way I can record on my screen using quicktime. please help I used a vga adapter from apple a AV to vga converter, and is their any way for me to use an iphone on a mac to play ios games while recording?

I don't think you can without some sort of capture card (very expensive, and because most MacBook Pros don't have a card, you need to use the FW800). MBP's Thunderbolt port only sends video signals out, you can't attach an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable from your camera to the MBP and expect to show video.
You could try a utility like Sofortbild.

I am trying to transfer my photos from old mac to new mac. I copied the iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then imported it to the new iPhoto. It turned my 2000 photos into 12,000!! What happened?

And how do I turn off FACES?

I copied the iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then imported it to the new iPhoto. It turned my 2000 photos into 12,000!!
According to you youo did not do what I instructed - you said you imported the old library into th enew library which can easily take a 2000 photo library and turn it into 12,000 including two ro three versions of each photo pus all the face thumbnails
The correct procedure has NO importing involved
drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac
That is it
