Java: Double or int

Hi!

 

I am trying to make a simple calculator in Java.

 

I was wondering, if the user enters 1 + 2 - those are both integers.  But if they enter 1.2 + 2.2 those are doubles or floats.

 

How do I test for both?  Is there some way to declare the input as a double and if it is an int, then remove the.000 etc.?

 

 

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for the reply.

 

The only problem is, I want to be able to add 1 + 1 = 2 and also 2.2 + 2.2 = 4.4.

I am using doubles now and getting 1 + 1 = 2.0.  Is there a way to distinguish if it is an int, then don't print the 2.0, just the 2?

 

Thanks again.

I'm not sure the proper way to cast in java, but you can determine if a number has a decimal value by casting it to an int, and subtracting it from the original double.  If the result is 0 then there is no decimal value.

 

Something like:

if (answer-(int)answer == 0){
   //is int
} else {
   //is double
}

Haven't touched java in awhile but can you use method overloading to do what you want?

 

public class Calculator {

  public double sum(double first, double second){
    return first + second;
  }

  public int sum(int first, int second){
    return first + second;
  }
}
