Hello i want to to a very simple calculation. At first I used double but since the result might be to big to fit in a double I am for the first time in my life using bigdecimal. I get a error message but i have no idea of what i did wrong. Thanks for your help!
My code:
double cn = 299792458;
double temp4 = 0;
BigDecimal en = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
BigDecimal mn = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
BigDecimal temp = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
BigDecimal temp1 = BigDecimal.valueOf(0);
String temp3 = null;
//String m.getText() to bigdecimal mn
mn = new BigDecimal(m.getText().replaceAll(",", ""));
//cn^2 to double temp4
temp4 = Math.pow(cn, cn);
//dobule temp4 to bigdecimal temp
temp = new BigDecimal(temp4);
//multiply bigdecimal temp with bigdecimal mn. Saves result to bigdecimal en
en = temp.multiply(mn);
//bigdecimal en to string temp3
temp3 = en.toString();
//Set string temp3 to textfield e1
e1.setText(temp3);
The error code:

In the statement
temp4 = Math.pow(cn, cn);
you are attempting to calculate 299792458299792458. This value far exceeds the capacity of double. I think you meant
temp4 = Math.pow(cn, 2);
or
temp4 = cn * cn;
