double in Java example for Android development

		// declaration and assignment of value  type double
		double x = 18.41785;
		//print formated  value
		System.out.printf("The value of x is %.3f%n", x); // 18.418

                double d1 = 12.4, d2 = 564.5, d3 = 14.589;

		// double range of value
		System.out.println(Double.MIN_VALUE); // 4.9E-324
		System.out.println(Double.MAX_VALUE); // 1.7976931348623157E308

		// is NaN  Not-a-Number

		boolean bNaN = Double.isNaN(f);
		System.out.print(bNaN); // true
