Class NumericFormatDouble

java.lang.Object

public final class NumericFormatDouble extends NumericFormatCompressed
Used for representation of DOUBLE PERCISION COMP_1 and COMP_2 variables. Default behaviour is for it to save in IEEE standards COMPUTATIONAL-1 or COMP-1 Specified for internal floating-point items (single precision). COMP-1 items are 4 bytes long. The sign is contained in the first bit of the leftmost byte and the exponent is contained in the remaining 7 bits. The last 3 bytes contain the mantissa. COMPUTATIONAL-2 or COMP-2 Specified for internal floating-point items (double precision). COMP-2 items are 8 bytes long. The sign is contained in the first bit of the leftmost byte and the remaining 7 bits contain the exponent. The remaining 7 bytes contain the mantissa.
