Reinterprets the specified 64-bit signed integer to a double-precision floating point number.

public:
 static double Int64BitsToDouble(long value);

public static double Int64BitsToDouble (long value);

static member Int64BitsToDouble : int64 -> double

Public Shared Function Int64BitsToDouble (value As Long) As Double

Parameters

value: Int64

The number to convert.

Returns

Double

A double-precision floating point number whose value is equivalent to value.

Examples

The following code example converts the bit patterns of several Int64 values to Double values with the Int64BitsToDouble method.

// Example of the BitConverter::Int64BitsToDouble method.
using namespace System;

// Reinterpret the __int64 argument as a double.
void LongBitsToDouble( __int64 argument )
{
   double doubleValue;
   doubleValue = BitConverter::Int64BitsToDouble( argument );
   
   // Display the argument in hexadecimal.
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,20}{1,27:E16}", String::Format( "0x{0:X16}", argument ), doubleValue );
}

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of the BitConverter::Int64BitsToDouble( "
   "__int64 ) \nmethod generates the following output.\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,20}{1,27:E16}", "__int64 argument", "double value" );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,20}{1,27:E16}", "----------------", "------------" );
   
   // Convert __int64 values and display the results.
   LongBitsToDouble( 0 );
   LongBitsToDouble( 0x3FF0000000000000 );
   LongBitsToDouble( 0x402E000000000000 );
   LongBitsToDouble( 0x406FE00000000000 );
   LongBitsToDouble( 0x41EFFFFFFFE00000 );
   LongBitsToDouble( 0x3F70000000000000 );
   LongBitsToDouble( 0x3DF0000000000000 );
   LongBitsToDouble( 0x0000000000000001 );
