ee.Number.double
Casts the input value to a 64-bit float.
Usage | Returns |
---|
Number.double() | Number |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: input | Number | The input value. |
Examples
// Declare an ee.Number.
var number = ee.Number(100);
print('ee.Number:', number);
// Cast a number to signed 64-bit floating point.
var doubleNumber = number.double();
print('ee.Number cast to double:', doubleNumber);
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
# Declare an ee.Number.
number = ee.Number(100)
print('ee.Number:', number.getInfo())
# Cast a number to signed 64-bit floating point.
double_number = number.double()
print('ee.Number cast to double:', double_number.getInfo())

The input value, designated as `this: input`, is a `Number`. In both JavaScript and Python examples, an `ee.Number` is initialized (e.g., 100), then the `double()` method is applied to cast it. The result, a 64-bit float, is then printed. The function has no other input parameters and returns a `Number`.\n"]]
