Re: [JAVA3D] Need of Equivalent code in Java

[Leyland Needham]

I have not tried his code, but you should get a better idea looking at it
like this...

byte arr[8];
long bits=0;
double db;

for(i=0;i<8;i++)
    arr[i] = getbyte();

for(i=0;i<8;i++)
    bits = (bits << 8) | arr[i];

db = Double.longBitsToDouble(bits);

basicly convert the array of bytes to a single long and then convert the long
bits to a double. This is very cool to me, I had no idea about this, and I
really needed it a couple of days ago but thought my only choice was
DataOutStream and DataInputStream. (Thank you Martin)
