Probably this what you are looking at to display decimal values in Exponential form.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        Double a = 0.0001123;
        String value = String.valueOf(a.doubleValue());
        System.out.println(value);
    }

output

1.123E-4

Yeah, this works for `0.0001123` but what about for other values? – Scary Wombat Jun 14 '19 at 05:42
`Double a = 0.1123;` Output is the same `0.1123` – Scary Wombat Jun 14 '19 at 05:50
