Hi there, how do I get to make 10_000_000_000.0.toString() to display as 10000000000.0 insted of 1.0E10 ?

println(String.format("%.1f", 10_000_000_000.0))
you can control how many digits it prints after . by changing the number in %.1f (%.2f will print 2 decimal places)

[andylamax]

is String.format available in stdlib-common ? IDEA can't seem to resolve it

[nanodeath]

it's a part of the JDK

[andylamax]

Is there a multiplatfrom alternative? Not only JDK?

[nanodeath]

not sure.

https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.text/format.html this says that it’s available in common, native, jvm and js

[andylamax]

Thanks. The link you posted shows that it is only available in JVM. expect/actual here I come

[mzgreen]

ah right sorry

You can either start with an integer value:
10_000_000_000.toString()
or convert your floating-point value to an integer:

10_000_000_000.0.toLong().toString()

I am even laughing at myself right now
