converting double to string

yuval59

it should be simple but str() doesnt work for some reason, even though the reference clearly states it should. would love to get some help with this.

Processing has a preference on floats over double primitive types. The community decided to support only floats so you will need to do explicit casting.

Kf

double dd=5.0;

println(dd);

println(str((float)dd));

println(nf((float)dd,0,4));

GoToLoop

double d = 5d;
String sd = "" + d;
println(sd);
exit();

While @GoToLoop's solution is correct, my advice is simple - don't use doubles when using Processing. The community decided to use floats for all purposes in Processing, and you can't really use most of Processing's built in functions with doubles.
