Field Detail

### ZERO

    public static final DoubleValue ZERO

### NaN

    public static final DoubleValue NaN

Constructor Detail

### DoubleValue

    public DoubleValue(java.lang.CharSequence val)
                throws ValidationException

  Constructor supplying a string

Throws:
  `ValidationException` - if the string does not have the correct lexical form for a double. Note that the error will contain no error code or context information.

### DoubleValue

    public DoubleValue(double value)

  Constructor supplying a double

Parameters:
  `value` - the value of the NumericValue

Method Detail

### getDoubleValue

    public double getDoubleValue()

  Return this numeric value as a double

  Overrides:
    `getDoubleValue` in class `NumericValue`
  Returns:
    the value as a double

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Get the hashCode. This must conform to the rules for other NumericValue hashcodes

  Specified by:
    `hashCode` in class `NumericValue`
  Returns:
    the hash code of the numeric value
  See Also:
    `NumericValue.hashCode()`

### isNaN

    public boolean isNaN()

  Test whether the value is the double/float value NaN

  Overrides:
    `isNaN` in class `NumericValue`

### effectiveBooleanValue

    public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)

  Get the effective boolean value

  Specified by:
    `effectiveBooleanValue` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `effectiveBooleanValue` in class `AtomicValue`
  Parameters:
    `context` -
  Returns:
    the effective boolean value (true unless the value is zero or NaN)

### convertPrimitive

    public AtomicValue convertPrimitive(BuiltInAtomicType requiredType,
                                        boolean validate)

  Convert to target data type

  Specified by:
    `convertPrimitive` in class `AtomicValue`
  Parameters:
    `requiredType` - an integer identifying the required atomic type
    `validate` - true if validation is required. If set to false, the caller guarantees that the value is valid for the target data type, and that further validation is therefore not required. Note that a validation failure may be reported even if validation was not requested.
  Returns:
    an AtomicValue, a value of the required type

### getStringValue

    public java.lang.String getStringValue()

  Convert the double to a string according to the XPath 2.0 rules

  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in interface `Item`
  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in class `AtomicValue`
  Returns:
    the string value

### getItemType

    public ItemType getItemType()

  Determine the data type of the expression

  Specified by:
    `getItemType` in interface `Expression`
  Overrides:
    `getItemType` in class `Value`
  Returns:
    Type.DOUBLE

### negate

    public NumericValue negate()

  Negate the value

  Specified by:
    `negate` in class `NumericValue`
  Returns:
    a value, of the same type as the original, with its sign inverted

### floor

    public NumericValue floor()

  Implement the XPath floor() function

  Specified by:
    `floor` in class `NumericValue`
  Returns:
    a value, of the same type as that supplied, rounded towards minus infinity

### ceiling

    public NumericValue ceiling()

  Implement the XPath ceiling() function

  Specified by:
    `ceiling` in class `NumericValue`
  Returns:
    a value, of the same type as that supplied, rounded towards plus infinity

### round

    public NumericValue round()

  Implement the XPath round() function

  Specified by:
    `round` in class `NumericValue`
  Returns:
    a value, of the same type as that supplied, rounded towards the nearest whole number (0.5 rounded up)

### roundToHalfEven

    public NumericValue roundToHalfEven(int scale)

  Implement the XPath round-to-half-even() function

  Specified by:
    `roundToHalfEven` in class `NumericValue`
  Parameters:
    `scale` - the decimal position for rounding: e.g. 2 rounds to a multiple of 0.01, while -2 rounds to a multiple of 100
