ee.Number.double

  • number.double() explicitly converts a number to a 64-bit floating-point representation in Earth Engine.

  • This function is primarily used to ensure numerical values are treated as doubles within Earth Engine computations.

  • Usage involves calling double() on an existing ee.Number object, resulting in a new ee.Number with the double-precision value.

 Casts the input value to a 64-bit float.

UsageReturns
Number.double()Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: inputNumberThe input value.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// 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

Colab (Python)

# 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())
