Java Double toHexString() Method

Java toHexString() method is the part of the Double class of the java.lang package. This method is used to return the absolute hexadecimal equivalent String of the double value passed.

It must be noted that the value "NaN" will be returned for the Not-A-Number(NaN) value.

Syntax:

public static String toHexString(double d)  

Parameters:

The parameter passed is the double value of which the string representation of the equivalent hexadecimal is to be returned.

Returns:

Returns the String representation of the double value passed as an equivalent hexadecimal value.

Example 1:

Here, a positive and a negative number is taken for a better understanding of the method.

import java.lang.Double;

public class StudyTonight
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {          
        double i = 132.67; 
        double j = -52.45;
        System.out.println("Actual number is = " + i);  
        System.out.println("Hexadecimal equivalent is = " + Double.toHexString(i)); //returns the double value in hexadecimal string
        
        System.out.println("Actual number is = " + j);  
        System.out.println("Hexadecimal equivalent is = " + Double.toHexString(j)); //returns the double value in hexadecimal string
        
    }  
}

Actual number is = 132.67
Hexadecimal equivalent is = 0x1.09570a3d70a3dp7
Actual number is = -52.45
Hexadecimal equivalent is = -0x1.a39999999999ap5

Example 2:

Here is a user-defined example where anyone using this code can put a value of his choice and get the equivalent output.

import java.util.Scanner;  
public class StudyTonight
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {          
        try
        {
          System.out.print("Enter the Number = ");  
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);  
          double i = sc.nextDouble();  
          System.out.println("Actual Number is  = " + i);  
          System.out.println("Hexadecimal representation is = " + Double.toHexString(i)); //returns the double value in hexadecimal string 
        }  
        catch(Exception e)
        {
          System.out.println("Invalid Number");
        }
    }
}  

Enter the Number = 89.77
Actual Number is = 89.77
Hexadecimal representation is = 0x1.67147ae147ae1p6
*********************************************************
Enter the Number = -72.96
Actual Number is = -72.96
Hexadecimal representation is = -0x1.23d70a3d70a3dp6
*********************************************************
Enter the Number = 0x56.98
Invalid Number
