How to use text() for double

Devillord234

Can I use text() to output a double variable? If not, what are some other ways to print it on my screen?

Thanks

size(600, 150);
smooth(3);
noLoop();

fill(#FFFF00);
background(#0000FF);

textSize(050);
textAlign(CENTER, BASELINE);

double d = -Math.E;
text(Double.toString(d), width>>1, height>>1);
//text("" + d, width>>1, height>>1);

@Devillord234 -- Note that casting to float also works, but precision differs between Double.toString(d), text(float(d),x,y), and println((float)d):

size(200, 150);
double d = Math.E;
text(Double.toString(d), 10, 20); // 2.718281828459045
println(Double.toString(d));      // 2.718281828459045
text((float)d, 10, 40);           // 2.718
println((float)d);                // 2.7182817
