BigInteger doubleValue() Method in Java

Last Updated : 4 Dec, 2018
The java.math.BigInteger.doubleValue() converts this BigInteger to a double value. If the value return by this function is too big for a magnitude to represent as a double then it will be converted to Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY as appropriate. There is a chance that this conversion can lose information about the precision of the BigInteger value. Syntax:
public double doubleValue()
Return Value: The method returns a double value which represents double value for this BigInteger. Examples:
Input: BigInteger1=32145
Output: 32145.0
Explanation: BigInteger1.doubleValue()=32145.0.

Input: BigInteger1=32145535361361525377
Output: 3.2145535E19
Explanation: BigInteger1.doubleValue()=3.2145535E19. This BigInteger is too big for 
a magnitude to represent as a double then it will be converted to Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY 
or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY as appropriate.
Below programs illustrate doubleValue() method of BigInteger class: Example 1:
Output:
doubleValue of 32145 : 32145.0
doubleValue of 7613721 : 7613721.0
Example 2: When returned double value is too big for a magnitude to represent as a double.
Output:
doubleValue of 32145535361361525377 : 3.2145535361361527E19
doubleValue of 7613721535372632367351 : 7.613721535372632E21
