I have a double I want to store exactly as is without any of the following formatting:
Example 1: double a = 12.
Gets formatted to: 12
Example 2: double b = 50.0
Gets formatted to: 50
Example 3: double c = 88.0000000000
Gets formatted to: 88
Is that possible (with some "magical" C# feature), or will I have to store it as a string like any other language? I saw Decimal
has lots of options for formatting numbers but none of the ones I've tried so far get it quite the way I want it (only close).
I'm building a GUI calculator app for educational purposes and want to make sure I'm doing things in the best C# way (as I'm doing this project to familiarize myself with the language).
Thank you.
EDIT: Example: Double is set to 52.000 The user clicks a button in the application that appends the 52.000 with a 1. New number: 52.0001 Those decimals that were once insignificant now have meaning because if the zeros from 52.000 got taken away earlier then this number would be 52.1. Which is a completely different number from 52.0001. Hence why the zeros do matter in this situation.
You can't as double
does not store insignificant digits.
Your options:
decimal
that preserves the zeros (be careful constructing it so - Decimal data type is stripping trailing zero's when they are needed to display).
