Raising a number to a power in Java
(10 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am trying to calculate the power as below but it is giving me 'bad operands type for binary operator '^'. I am guessing that it is a precedence issue but it still doesn't fix with inserting additional brackets
double pw = ((N - (df + 1))^2);

You should use java.lang.Math.pow(x,y)
Example: java.lang.Math.pow(2,3) returns 8

See this
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/lang/math_pow.htm
java.lang.Math.pow(double a, double b)
You can use static import for this.

I think 5 is an int. But there are no variables. I don't know why the output is a double. I tried in Netbeans already.
Multiplication and division are done left to right (and regardless, you put parentheses around the first operation), and if you divide any primitive umber by a double, you will get a double out of it.
5/2.0 will clearly be evaluated first.
So, even though ‘5’ is an int, if you do 5/2.0, you’ll get a double (namely, 2.5). Now, at this point, your code is already working with a double.
When you multiply 2.5 by 2, you then output 5.0, since 2.5 is a double.

I am trying to round to the nearest decimal value, however, this line of code keeps returning a number between 0 and 1, I also want the output to be between 1 and 10. Where am I going wrong?
power[i] = rng.nextDouble();
Math.round(ThreadLocalRandom.nextDouble(1,10)*10)/10.0
You can use JDK's Math.round.

Can anyone explain what's going on here? My calculator insists that the result of equitation is 13201.
double test = 132.01/0.01D;
System.out.println(test); <- 13200.999999999998
Probably, this is very simple question, but I really don't understand. Most of questions in SO on similar topic involves Integer and Double.

I am doing simple calculation in java. Expected result is 51.3348 but what I am getting is 51.0, here is my calculation
float percent = (7819140000l-3805200000l)*100/7819140000l;
Is that problem with datatype? How can I resolve this to get value as 51.3348
Thanks in Advance
add an f to one of the values:
float percent = (7819140000l-3805200000l)*100f/7819140000l;
if yiu do not do it, Java will make a devision by long values

Int division: Why is the result of 1/3 == 0?
(19 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Eg: I divide manually 8/3 = 2.666666.
When I divide in Java, I've got 8/3 = 2.0 instead.
How can I get the answer to display 2.667 or 2.67?
Thank you.
You are doing integer division hence result is integer
you need to do ((double)8)/3 to get desired result
