Convert scientific notation to decimal notation

Question

There is a similar question on SO which suggests using NumberFormat which is what I have done.

I am using the parse() method of NumberFormat.

Answer 1

Memorize the String.format syntax so you can convert your doubles and BigDecimals to strings of whatever precision without e notation:

This java code:

double dennis = 0.00000008880000d;
System.out.println(dennis);
System.out.println(String.format("%.7f", dennis));
System.out.println(String.format("%.9f", new BigDecimal(dennis)));
System.out.println(String.format("%.19f", new BigDecimal(dennis)));

Prints:

8.88E-8
0.0000001
0.000000089
0.0000000888000000000
