 //Reads eight input bytes and returns a double value. It does this by first constructing a long value in exactly the manner
 //of the readlong method, then converting this long value to a double in exactly the manner of the method Double.longBitsToDouble.
 //This method is suitable for reading bytes written by the writeDouble method of interface DataOutput.
