Double to Hex
I am trying to convert the double 4270571936.0000000000d to a hex string using Double.toHexString() and the answer I'm getting is 0x1.fd17834p31, what does p stands for?
The answer I'm expecting to get is 0x41efd17834000000 so not sure why it won't give me the correct answer?
The following floating point Double to hex calculator shows the write answer right Floating Point to Hex Converter

Re: Double to Hex
Did you have any questions about the explanation in the API doc? If so, copy the part you don't understand, paste it here and ask the questions.what does p stands for?
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Double to Hex
Is there any way in which I can get rid of the p so it does not print the hex string to the exponent?
Basically I want it to print 0x41efd17834000000 instead of 0x1.fd17834p31.

Re: Double to Hex
I'd have to look at the API doc. I've never tried.
Another way might be to use the writeDouble() method to write to a byte array output stream. The double would be the in the first 8 bytes of the array, use the Integer class's toHexString to convert the bytes to String.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
