parseInt returns double in rhino

Question

I have this JavaScript file (Rhino 1.7R4).

importPackage(java.io);
importPackage(java.lang);
importPackage(java.util);

var reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(System['in']) );

var line = reader.readLine();
var tok = new java.util.StringTokenizer(line);

var A = Integer.parseInt(tok.nextToken());
var B = Integer.parseInt(tok.nextToken());
var C = Integer.parseInt(tok.nextToken());

// System.out.printf( "A=%d, B=%d, C=%d\n", A, B, C );
System.out.printf( "A=%f, B=%f, C=%f\n", A, B, C );

When I uncomment first printf - I'm getting

Answer 1

That's a reault of the JavaScript type system. All numbers in JavaScript are doubles, so while `Integer.parseInt("4.5") returns 4, it needs to be converted to 4.0 for JavaScript.

Fortunately, 64-bit doubles have enough precision to represent any 32-bit int exactly, so on the JavaScript side you typically don't need to worry about it. But the Java object behind the value is always a Double and gets converted automatically when it needs to be. But since System.out.printf takes arguments of type Object it has to be passed as is.
