Class DoubleFormat

java.lang.Object

medusa.georgios.enhanced_mcl.DoubleFormat

public class DoubleFormat
extends java.lang.Object

DoubleFormat formats double numbers into a specified digit format. The difference to NumberFormat and DecimalFormat is that this DigitFormat is based on a strategy to focus on a given number of nonzero digits, for which it rounds numbers if necessary. In addition, it is possible to format a number into a String that has a specified length, with a strategy to first obey the significant-digit rule and then try to either space-pad the string on the left or shorten the string by rounding, converting to mantissa-exponent format or indicating overflow or underflow. Although the class does not yield separator-aligned numbers, it yields a readable output.
