I want to print out the string represenation of a double without losing precision using ToString()
I get the following when I tr开发者_Go百科y formatting it as a string:
double i = 101535479557522.5;
i.ToString(); //displays 101535479557523
How do I do this in C#?
If you want it to be exactly the same you should use i.ToString("r")
(the "r" is for round-trip). You can read about the different numeric formats on MSDN.
You're running into the limits of the precision of Double. From the docs:
Remember that a floating-point number can only approximate a decimal number, and that the precision of a floating-point number determines how accurately that number approximates a decimal number. By default, a Double value contains 15 decimal digits of precision, although a maximum of 17 digits is maintained internally.
If you want more precision - and particularly maintaining a decimal representation - you should look at using the decimal
type instead.
