[[CDBL]] converts a value to the closest [[DOUBLE]]-precision value.
{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|doubleValue#}} = [[CDBL]]({{Parameter|expression}})
{{Parameters}}
* {{Parameter|expression}} is any [[TYPE]] of literal or variable numerical value or mathematical calculation.
{{PageDescription}}
* Rounds to the closest [[DOUBLE]] floating decimal point value.
* Also can be used to define a value as [[DOUBLE]]-precision up to 15 decimals.
{{PageExamples}}
''Example:'' Prints a double-precision version of the single-precision value stored in the variable named A.
{{CodeStart}}
A = 454.67
{{Cl|PRINT}} A; {{Cl|CDBL}}(A)
{{CodeEnd}}
{{OutputStart}} 454.67 454.6700134277344
{{OutputEnd}}
: The last 11 numbers in the double-precision number change the value in this example, since A was previously defined to only two-decimal place accuracy.
