i do the below java print command for this double variable double test=58.15; When i do a System.out.println(test); and System.out.println(new Double(test).toString()); It prints as 58.15.
When i do a System.out.println(new BigDecimal(test)) I get the below value 58.14999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375
I am able to understand "test" double variable value is internally stored as 58.1499999. But when i do the below two System.out.println i am getting the output as 58.15 and not 58.1499999.
System.out.println(test);
System.out.println(new Double(test).toString());
It prints the output as 58.15 for the above two.
Is the above System.out.println statements are doing some rounding of the value 58.1499999 and printing it as 58.15?
