Method Detail

formatDec

public static java.lang.String formatDec(double x,
                                         int nLength,
                                         int nDecimal)

Returns a string representing a double precision number (x). The string uses a fixed decimal point format. When necessary spaces are added to the beginning of the string to obtain the necessary length.

Parameters:

x - number

nLength - total length of returned string

nDecimal - number of digits to the right of the decimal point

formatSci

public static java.lang.String formatSci(double x,
                                         int nLength,
                                         int nDecimal)

Returns a string representing a double precision number (x). The string uses a scientific notation. The total length of the string must include four additional digits for the E+## notation.

Parameters:

x - number

nLength - total length of returned string

nDecimal - number of digits to the right of the decimal point

isValid
