public OtpErlangDouble(double d)

Create an Erlang float from the given double value.

OtpErlangDouble

public OtpErlangDouble(OtpInputStream buf)
                throws OtpErlangDecodeException

Create an Erlang float from a stream containing a double encoded in Erlang external format.

Parameters:

buf - the stream containing the encoded value.

Throws:

OtpErlangDecodeException - if the buffer does not contain a valid external representation of an Erlang float.

Method Detail

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

Get the value, as a double.

Returns:

the value of this object, as a double.

encode

public void encode(OtpOutputStream buf)

Convert this double to the equivalent Erlang external representation.

Specified by:

encode in class OtpErlangObject

Parameters:

buf - an output stream to which the encoded value should be written.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Determine if two floats are equal. Floats are equal if they contain the same value.

Specified by:

equals in class OtpErlangObject

Parameters:

o - the float to compare to.

Returns:

true if the floats have the same value.

floatValue

public float floatValue()
                 throws OtpErlangRangeException

Get the value, as a float.

Returns:

the value of this object, as a float.

Throws:

OtpErlangRangeException - if the value cannot be represented as a float.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Get the string representation of this double.

Specified by:

toString in class OtpErlangObject

Returns:

the string representation of this double.
