# double class abstract final

A double-precision floating point number.

Representation of Dart doubles containing double specific constants and operations and specializations of operations inherited from num. Dart doubles are 64-bit floating-point numbers as specified in the IEEE 754 standard.

The double type is contagious. Operations on doubles return double results.

It is a compile-time error for a class to attempt to extend or implement double.

## Methods

abs() → double
  The absolute value of this number.
  override
ceil() → int
  Returns the least integer that is not smaller than this number.
  override
ceilToDouble() → double
  Returns the least integer double value no smaller than `this`.
  override
clamp(num lowerLimit, num upperLimit) → num
  Returns this num clamped to be in the range `lowerLimit`-`upperLimit`.
  inherited
compareTo(num other) → int
  Compares this to `other`.
  inherited
floor() → int
  Returns the greatest integer no greater than this number.
  override
floorToDouble() → double
  Returns the greatest integer double value no greater than `this`.
  override
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
  Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
  inherited
remainder(num other) → double
  The remainder of the truncating division of `this` by `other`.
  override
