java - Convert Double to Binary representation?

Question

I tried to convert a double to its binary representation, but using this Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(d)) doesn't help, since I have large numbers, that Long can't store them i.e 2^900.

Answer 1

Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(d)) appears to work just fine.

System.out.println("0:                0b" + Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(0D)));
System.out.println("1:                0b" + Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(1D)));
System.out.println("2:                0b" + Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(2D)));
System.out.println("2^900:            0b" + Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(Math.pow(2, 900))));
System.out.println("Double.MAX_VALUE: 0b" + Long.toBinaryString(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(Double.MAX_VALUE)));
