How do I get whole and fractional parts from double in JSP/Java ? If the value is 3.25 then I want to get fractional =.25, whole = 3

How can we do this in Java?

double value = 3.25;
double fractionalPart = value % 1;
double integralPart = value - fractionalPart;

Since this 1-year old question was kicked up by someone who corrected the question subject, and this question is been tagged with jsp, and nobody here was able to give a JSP targeted answer, here is my JSP-targeted contribution.

Use JSTL (just drop jstl-1.2.jar in /WEB-INF/lib) fmt taglib. There's a <fmt:formatNumber> tag which does exactly what you want and in a quite easy manner with help of maxFractionDigits and maxIntegerDigits attributes.

Here's an SSCCE, just copy'n'paste'n'run it.

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>

<%
    // Just for quick prototyping. Don't do this in real! Use servlet/javabean.
    double d = 3.25;
    request.setAttribute("d", d);
%>

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>SO question 343584</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Whole: <fmt:formatNumber value="${d}" maxFractionDigits="0" />
        <p>Fraction: <fmt:formatNumber value="${d}" maxIntegerDigits="0" />
    </body>
</html>

Output:

Whole: 3

Fraction: .25

That's it. No need to massage it with help of raw Java code.

The original question asked for the exponent and mantissa, rather than the fractional and whole part.

To get the exponent and mantissa from a double you can convert it into the IEEE 754 representation and extract the bits like this:

long bits = Double.doubleToLongBits(3.25);

boolean isNegative = (bits & 0x8000000000000000L) != 0; 
long exponent      = (bits & 0x7ff0000000000000L) >> 52;
long mantissa      =  bits & 0x000fffffffffffffL;

The mantissa and exponent of an IEEE double floating point number are the values such that

value = sign * (1 + mantissa) * pow(2, exponent)

if the mantissa is of the form 0.101010101_base 2 (ie its most sigificant bit is shifted to be after the binary point) and the exponent is adjusted for bias.

Since 1.6, java.lang.Math also provides a direct method to get the unbiased exponent (called getExponent(double))

However, the numbers you're asking for are the integral and fractional parts of the number, which can be obtained using

integral = Math.floor(x)
fractional = x - Math.floor(x)

though you may you want to treat negative numbers differently (floor(-3.5) == -4.0), depending why you want the two parts.

I'd strongly suggest that you don't call these mantissa and exponent.

[Edit: The question originally asked how to get the mantissa and exponent.]

Where n is the number to get the real mantissa/exponent:

exponent = int(log(n))
mantissa = n / 10^exponent

Or, to get the answer you were looking for:

exponent = int(n)
mantissa = n - exponent

These are not Java exactly but should be easy to convert.

What if your number is 2.39999999999999. I suppose you want to get the exact decimal value. Then use BigDecimal:

Integer x,y,intPart;
BigDecimal bd,bdInt,bdDec;
bd = new BigDecimal("2.39999999999999");
intPart = bd.intValue();
bdInt = new BigDecimal(intPart);
bdDec = bd.subtract(bdInt);
System.out.println("Number : " + bd);
System.out.println("Whole number part : " + bdInt);
System.out.println("Decimal number part : " + bdDec);

Since the fmt:formatNumber tag doesn't always yield the correct result, here is another JSP-only approach: It just formats the number as string and does the rest of the computation on the string, since that is easier and doesn't involve further floating point arithmetics.

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn" %>

<%
  double[] numbers = { 0.0, 3.25, 3.75, 3.5, 2.5, -1.5, -2.5 };
  pageContext.setAttribute("numbers", numbers);
%>

<html>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <c:forEach var="n" items="${numbers}">
        <li>${n} = ${fn:substringBefore(n, ".")} + ${n - fn:substringBefore(n, ".")}</li>
      </c:forEach>
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>
// target float point number
double d = 3.025;

// transfer the number to string
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();
df.setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(false);
String format = df.format(d);

// split the number into two fragments
int dotIndex = format.indexOf(".");
int iPart = Integer.parseInt(format.substring(0, dotIndex)); // output: 3
double fPart = Double.parseDouble(format.substring(dotIndex)); // output: 0.025

OK this is maybe late, but i think the best and more accurate approach is using BigDecimal

double d = 11.38;

BigDecimal bigD = BigDecimal.valueOf(d);
int intPart = bigD.intValue();
double fractionalPart = bigD.subtract(BigDecimal.valueOf(intPart)).doubleValue();

System.out.println(intPart); // 11
System.out.println(fractionalPart ); //0.38
public class MyMain2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double myDub;
        myDub=1234.5678;
        long myLong;
        myLong=(int)myDub;
        myDub=(myDub%1)*10000;
        int myInt=(int)myDub;
        System.out.println(myLong + "\n" + myInt);
    }
}
