How to convert a String to double in Java
We can convert a String to a primitive double using the Double.parseDouble method or to a wrapped Double class using the Double.valueOf. When both methods receive an invalid number as argument, a java.lang.NumberFormatException will be thrown.
Convert a String to double using Double.parseDouble
The Double.parseDouble method is used to convert a String to primitive double.
String number = "1234.56";
double convertedNumber = Double.parseDouble(number);
System.out.println("Convert String to double: " + convertedNumber);
String negativeNumber = "-1234.56";
double convertedNegativeNumber = Double.parseDouble(negativeNumber);
System.out.println("Convert negative String to double: " + convertedNegativeNumber);The previous will generate the following output.
Convert String to double: 1234.56
Convert negative String to double: -1234.56Convert a String to Double using Double.valueOf
The Double.valueOf method is used to convert a String to a wrappedDouble.
String number = "1234.56";
Double convertedNumber = Double.valueOf(number);
System.out.println("Convert String to Double: " + convertedNumber);
String negativeNumber = "-1234.56";
Double convertedNegativeNumber = Double.valueOf(negativeNumber);
System.out.println("Convert negative String to Double: " + convertedNegativeNumber);The previous will generate the following output.
Convert String to Double: 1234.56
Convert negative String to Double: -1234.56throws java.lang.NumberFormatException
If the String passed in is not a valid Double, an java.lang.NumberFormatException is thrown. In this example "-abc" is not a valid number for type Double.
String invalidNumber = "-abc";
double invalidConvertedNumber = Double.parseDouble(invalidNumber);The java.lang.NumberFormatException thrown.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "-abc"
