To the Java Development Team:
1. How do you turn off scientific notation and turn on
standard notation when formatting Numbers in Java?
2. How do you avoid loss of precision with doubles?
For example, if a = 300000.33,
b = 2,
c = a*b,
how do you make sure c = 600000.66, not 600001?
Is this avoidable?
