Double parseDouble() method in Java with examples

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The

parseDouble()

method of

Java Double class

is a built in method in Java that returns a new double initialized to the value represented by the specified String, as done by the

valueOf

method of class

Double

Syntax:

public static double parseDouble(String s)

Parameters:

It accepts a single mandatory parameter

which specifies the string to be parsed.

Return type:

It returns e

double

value represented by the string argument.

Exception:

The function throws two exceptions which are described below:

NullPointerException- when the string parsed is null
NumberFormatException- when the string parsed does not contain a parsable float

Below is the implementation of the above method.

Program 1: Java


 // Java Code to implement
// parseDouble() method of Double class

class GFG {

    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String str = "100";

        // returns the double value
        // represented by the string argument
        double val = Double.parseDouble(str);

        // prints the double value
        System.out.println("Value = " + val);
    }
}

Program 2:

To show NumberFormatException

Java


 // Java Code to implement
// parseDouble() method of Double class

class GFG {

    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        try {

            String str = "";

            // returns the double value
            // represented by the string argument
            double val = Double.parseDouble(str);

            // prints the double value
            System.out.println("Value = " + val);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String

Program 3:

To show NullPointerException

Java


 // Java Code to implement
// parseDouble() method of Double class

class GFG {

    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        try {

            String str = null;

            // returns the double value
            // represented by the string argument
            double val = Double.parseDouble(str);

            // prints the double value
            System.out.println("Value = " + val);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
