double get fractional part?

If I have:

8.24
7.56
1.11

as doubles, how do I easily get just the ".24, .56, .11" ? Thanks,

Well, there's no shortage of methods I'm sure, but the following would work:

double value, fraction;

value = 8.24;
fraction = value - (int) value;

assuming the number is positive:

double x = myNumber-Math.Floor(myNumber);

I have a doubt : what occurs when <doublevalue exceeds <intcapacities ?

Well, using the code you quoted you get an exception, of course.

If you have numbers that aren't within the range of int, you'll have to
use some other method obviously. For example, the Math.Truncate() method
can be used in place of casting to int.

You should use:

fraction = value - (long) value;

or nicer:

fraction = value - Math.Floor(value);

to avoid the problem.

Only if compiled with /checked+.

Else the results will become very "weird looking".

That is probably better than my suggestion of Math.Floor - most
people will prefer -0.24 instead og 0.76 when applied to -8.24 !
