# `double()` (cast)

Converts a value to the double floating point data type. Here is an example:

    int x = 2;
    double d = double(x);  // d now holds 2.0, a double value

The value `x` can be of any type. However, if `x` is not a number (like an `int` or `long long`), you will get strange results.

See the double reference for details about the precision and limitations of `double` values on the Maple.
