Hi jen, If you really want to to compare bit by bit it should be possible to cast the floating point values and then perform the comparison.
Please see the URL: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Double.html#doubleToRawLongBits%28double%29 Casting does that looses the value decimal point value? The most important Returns a representation of the specified floating-point value according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "double format" bit layout, preserving Not-a-Number (NaN) values. underneath the source code, it is just C code: union { double dval; long lval; } They fill dval to get lval and vs. That is important if u use that for searching within a Hashtable like: double[string] myvals; // look for the key string using double?
