Parsing double precision numbers



After reading the string representation of a double precision
number, -0.4175970000000 00D+06, from a text file, I am unable to convert it
to a double precision number. Here is the code I am using:

string[] result = block.Split(cha rSeparators,
StringSplitOpti ons.RemoveEmpty Entries);
double temp1 = double.Parse(re sult[0]);

After the last statement, I get an unhandled exception.

-0.4175970000000 00D+06 is invalid (the D should be an e or E to be valid),
where did you get this from?

What is the D in your number? If that is supposed to mean exponent, the
correct representation is e (or E).

Hi,
The D is incorrect, it should be an E.

Where are you reading these numbers from?

Anyway, use String.Replace
double temp1 = double.Parse(re sult[0].Replace("D","E "));

I am working on a WIN32 API app using devc++4992 that will accept Dow Jones/NASDAQ/etc. stock prices as input, parse them, and do things with it. The user can just cut and paste back prices into a window and hit a button to process it. The information thus enters the program as a char array. Prices can be between $1 and $100, including cents. So we can have prices such as 3.01, 1.56, 11.57, etc. The char array is an alphanumeric...

First, sorry if this is off-topic, not strictly being a C++ issue. I could not find a ng on numerics or serialization and I figure this ng is the closest I can get. Now the question: I want to serialize doubles in human-readable decimal form and be sure I get the exact same binary values when I read them back. (Right now, I don't care about NaN, infinities etc.)

I'm trying to make sense of the standard C data sizes for floating point numbers.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
