The number of retained digits and formats of Double to String
Sometimes it is necessary to write the data in the program to a file for storage, which involves the string format of the data.
The following describes how to set the number of retained digits and formats when converting Double to String. The example is from official information. This article is used for quick query in the future.

double[] numbers= {1054.32179, -195489100.8377, 1.0437E21,
-1.0573e-05};
string[] specifiers = { "C", "E", "e", "F", "G", "N", "P",
"R", "#,000.000", "0.###E-000",
"000,000,000,000.00###" };
foreach (double number in numbers)
{
("Formatting of {0}:", number);
foreach (string specifier in specifiers) {
(" {0,-22} {1}",
specifier + ":", (specifier));
// Add precision specifiers from 0 to 3.
if ( == 1 & ! ("R")) {
for (int precision = 0; precision <= 3; precision++) {
string pSpecifier = ("{0}{1}", specifier, precision);
(" {0,-22} {1}",
pSpecifier + ":", (pSpecifier));
}

}
}

The accuracy loss problem occurs when the Double type is converted to String type
Use the ToString() method to get string in C#
If the number of double digits exceeds 16 digits, it will cause the accuracy to be missing.
It is recommended to obtain relatively accurate strings by rounding and decimal parts and then merging them.
