public class BigDecimal extends Number implements Serializable, Comparable
BigDecimal
class implements immutable
arbitrary-precision decimal numbers. The methods of the
BigDecimal
class provide operations for fixed and
floating point arithmetic, comparison, format conversions, and
hashing.
As the numbers are decimal, there is an exact correspondence between
an instance of a BigDecimal
object and its
String
representation; the BigDecimal
class
provides direct conversions to and from String
and
character array (char[]
) objects, as well as conversions
to and from the Java primitive types (which may not be exact) and
BigInteger
.
In the descriptions of constructors and methods in this documentation,
the value of a BigDecimal
number object is shown as the
result of invoking the toString()
method on the object.
The internal representation of a decimal number is neither defined
nor exposed, and is not permitted to affect the result of any
operation.
The floating point arithmetic provided by this class is defined by
the ANSI X3.274-1996 standard, and is also documented at
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal
[This URL will change.]
Operations on BigDecimal
numbers are controlled by a
{@link MathContext} object, which provides the context (precision and
other information) for the operation. Methods that can take a
MathContext
parameter implement the standard arithmetic
operators for BigDecimal
objects and are known as
operator methods. The default settings provided by the
constant {@link MathContext#DEFAULT} (digits=9,
form=SCIENTIFIC, lostDigits=false, roundingMode=ROUND_HALF_UP
)
perform general-purpose floating point arithmetic to nine digits of
precision. The MathContext
parameter must not be
null
.
Each operator method also has a version provided which does
not take a MathContext
parameter. For this version of
each method, the context settings used are digits=0,
form=PLAIN, lostDigits=false, roundingMode=ROUND_HALF_UP
;
these settings perform fixed point arithmetic with unlimited
precision, as defined for the original BigDecimal class in Java 1.1
and Java 1.2.
For monadic operators, only the optional MathContext
parameter is present; the operation acts upon the current object.
For dyadic operators, a BigDecimal
parameter is always
present; it must not be null
.
The operation acts with the current object being the left-hand operand
and the BigDecimal
parameter being the right-hand operand.
For example, adding two BigDecimal
objects referred to
by the names award
and extra
could be
written as any of:
award.add(extra)
award.add(extra, MathContext.DEFAULT)
award.add(extra, acontext)
(where acontext
is a MathContext
object),
which would return a BigDecimal
object whose value is
the result of adding award
and extra
under
the appropriate context settings.
When a BigDecimal
operator method is used, a set of
rules define what the result will be (and, by implication, how the
result would be represented as a character string).
These rules are defined in the BigDecimal arithmetic documentation
(see the URL above), but in summary:
MathContext
parameter for an operation
were MathContext.DEFAULT
then the result would be
rounded to 9 digits; the division of 2 by 3 would then result in
0.666666667.
MathContext
object. This lets you
calculate using as many digits as you need -- thousands, if necessary.
Fixed point (scaled) arithmetic is indicated by using a
digits
setting of 0 (or omitting the
MathContext
parameter).

), a zero result is always expressed as the
single digit '0'
(that is, with no sign, decimal point,
or exponent part).
new BigDecimal("2.40").add( new BigDecimal("2")) => "4.40"
new BigDecimal("2.40").subtract(new BigDecimal("2")) => "0.40"
new BigDecimal("2.40").multiply(new BigDecimal("2")) => "4.80"
new BigDecimal("2.40").divide( new BigDecimal("2"), def) => "1.2"
where the value on the right of the =>
would be the
result of the operation, expressed as a String
, and
def
(in this and following examples) refers to
MathContext.DEFAULT
).
This preservation of trailing zeros is desirable for most
calculations (including financial calculations).
If necessary, trailing zeros may be easily removed using division by 1.

(the default is 9 digits).
If the number of places needed before the decimal point exceeds the
digits
setting, or the absolute value of the number is
less than 0.000001
, then the number will be expressed in
exponential notation; thus
new BigDecimal("1e+6").multiply(new BigDecimal("1e+6"), def)
results in 1E+12
instead of
1000000000000
, and
new BigDecimal("1").divide(new BigDecimal("3E+10"), def)
results in 3.33333333E-11
instead of
0.0000000000333333333

The form of the exponential notation (scientific or engineering) is
determined by the

BigDecimal
object from a
java.math.BigDecimal
.
Constructs a BigDecimal
as though the parameter had
been represented as a String
(using its
toString
method) and the
{@link #BigDecimal(java.lang.String)} constructor had then been
used.
The parameter must not be null
.
(Note: this constructor is provided only in the
com.ibm.icu.math
version of the BigDecimal class.
It would not be present in a java.math
version.)
Parameters: bd The BigDecimal
to be translated.
UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0
BigDecimal
object from a
BigInteger
, with scale 0.
Constructs a BigDecimal
which is the exact decimal
representation of the BigInteger
, with a scale of
zero.
The value of the BigDecimal
is identical to the value
of the BigInteger
.
The parameter must not be null
.
The BigDecimal
will contain only decimal digits,
prefixed with a leading minus sign (hyphen) if the
BigInteger
is negative. A leading zero will be
present only if the BigInteger
is zero.
Parameters: bi The BigInteger
to be converted.
UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0
BigDecimal
object from a
BigInteger
and a scale.
Constructs a BigDecimal
which is the exact decimal
representation of the BigInteger
, scaled by the
second parameter, which may not be negative.
The value of the BigDecimal
is the
BigInteger
divided by ten to the power of the scale.
The BigInteger
parameter must not be
null
.
The BigDecimal
will contain only decimal digits, (with
an embedded decimal point followed by scale
decimal
digits if the scale is positive), prefixed with a leading minus
sign (hyphen) if the BigInteger
is negative. A
leading zero will be present only if the BigInteger
is
zero.
Parameters: bi The BigInteger
to be converted. scale The int
specifying the scale.
Throws: NumberFormatException if the scale is negative.
UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0
BigDecimal
object from an array of characters.
Constructs a BigDecimal
as though a
String
had been constructed from the character array
and the {@link #BigDecimal(java.lang.String)} constructor had then
been used. The parameter must not be null
.
Using this constructor is faster than using the
BigDecimal(String)
constructor if the string is
already available in character array form.
Parameters: inchars The char[]
array containing the number
to be converted.
Throws: NumberFormatException if the parameter is not a valid number.
UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0
BigDecimal
object from an array of characters.
Constructs a BigDecimal
as though a
String
had been constructed from the character array
(or a subarray of that array) and the
{@link #BigDecimal(java.lang.String)} constructor had then been
used. The first parameter must not be null
, and the
subarray must be wholly contained within it.
Using this constructor is faster than using the
BigDecimal(String)
constructor if the string is
already available within a character array.
Parameters: inchars The char[]
array containing the number
to be converted. offset The int
offset into the array of the
start of the number to be converted. length The int
length of the number.

UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0
BigDecimal
object directly from a
double
.

which is the exact decimal
representation of the 64-bit signed binary floating point
parameter.
Note that this constructor it an exact conversion; it does not give
the same result as converting num
to a
String
using the Double.toString()
method
and then using the {@link #BigDecimal(java.lang.String)}
constructor.
To get that result, use the static {@link #valueOf(double)}
method to construct a BigDecimal
from a
double
.

UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0
BigDecimal
object directly from a
long
.
Constructs a BigDecimal
which is the exact decimal
representation of the 64-bit signed binary integer parameter.

prefixed with a leading minus sign (hyphen) if the parameter is
negative.
A leading zero will be present only if the parameter is zero.
Parameters: num The long
to be converted.
UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0
BigDecimal
object from a String
.
Constructs a BigDecimal
from the parameter, which must
not be null
and must represent a valid number,
as described formally in the documentation referred to
{@link BigDecimal above}.
In summary, numbers in String
form must have at least
one digit, may have a leading sign, may have a decimal point, and
exponential notation may be used. They follow conventional syntax,
and may not contain blanks.
Some valid strings from which a BigDecimal
might
be constructed are:
"0" -- Zero "12" -- A whole number "-76" -- A signed whole number "12.70" -- Some decimal places "+0.003" -- Plus sign is allowed "17." -- The same as 17 ".5" -- The same as 0.5 "4E+9" -- Exponential notation "0.73e-7" -- Exponential notation
(Exponential notation means that the number includes an optional
sign and a power of ten following an 'E' that
indicates how the decimal point will be shifted. Thus the
"4E+9"
above is just a short way of writing
4000000000
, and the "0.73e-7"
is short
for 0.000000073
.)
The BigDecimal
constructed from the String is in a
standard form, with no blanks, as though the
{@link #add(BigDecimal)} method had been used to add zero to the
number with unlimited precision.
If the string uses exponential notation (that is, includes an
e
or an E
), then the
BigDecimal
number will be expressed in scientific
notation (where the power of ten is adjusted so there is a single
non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point); in this case if
the number is zero then it will be expressed as the single digit 0,
and if non-zero it will have an exponent unless that exponent would
be 0. The exponent must fit in nine digits both before and after it
is expressed in scientific notation.
Any digits in the parameter must be decimal; that is,
Character.digit(c, 10)
(where c is the
character in question) would not return -1.
Parameters: string The String
to be converted.
Throws: NumberFormatException if the parameter is not a valid number.
UNKNOWN: ICU 2.0

whose value is the absolute
value of this BigDecimal
.
The same as {@link #abs(MathContext)}, where the context is

BigDecimal
to a float
.
If the BigDecimal
is out of the possible range for a
float
(32-bit signed floating point) result then an
ArithmeticException
is thrown.
The float produced is identical to result of expressing the
BigDecimal
as a String
and then
converting it using the Float(String)
constructor;
this can result in values of Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
or Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY
.
Returns: A float

representation of this
BigDecimal
, modified by layout parameters.
This method is provided as a primitive for use by more
sophisticated classes, such as DecimalFormat
, that
can apply locale-sensitive editing of the result. The level of
formatting that it provides is a necessary part of the BigDecimal
class as it is sensitive to and must follow the calculation and
rounding rules for BigDecimal arithmetic.
However, if the function is provided elsewhere, it may be removed
from this class.
The parameters, for both forms of the format
method
are all of type int
.
A value of -1 for any parameter indicates that the default action
or value for that parameter should be used.
The parameters, before
and after
,
specify the number of characters to be used for the integer part
and decimal part of the result respectively. Exponential notation
is not used. If either parameter is -1 (which indicates the default
action), the number of characters used will be exactly as many as
are needed for that part.
before
must be a positive number; if it is larger than
is needed to contain the integer part, that part is padded on the
left with blanks to the requested length. If before
is
not large enough to contain the integer part of the number
(including the sign, for negative numbers) an exception is thrown.
after
must be a non-negative number; if it is not the
same size as the decimal part of the number, the number will be
rounded (or extended with zeros) to fit. Specifying 0 for
after
will cause the number to be rounded to an
integer (that is, it will have no decimal part or decimal point).
The rounding method will be the default,
MathContext.ROUND_HALF_UP
.
Other rounding methods, and the use of exponential notation, can be selected by using {@link #format(int,int,int,int,int,int)}. Using the two-parameter form of the method has exactly the same effect as using the six-parameter form with the final four parameters all being -1.
Parameters: before The int
specifying the number of places
before the decimal point. Use -1 for 'as many as
are needed'. after The int
specifying the number of places
after the decimal point. Use -1 for 'as many as are
needed'.
Returns: A String
representing this
BigDecimal
, laid out according to the
specified parameters
Throws: ArithmeticException if the number cannot be laid out as requested. IllegalArgumentException if a parameter is out of range.

String
representation of this
BigDecimal
, modified by layout parameters and allowing
exponential notation.
This method is provided as a primitive for use by more
sophisticated classes, such as DecimalFormat
, that
can apply locale-sensitive editing of the result. The level of
formatting that it provides is a necessary part of the BigDecimal
class as it is sensitive to and must follow the calculation and
rounding rules for BigDecimal arithmetic.
However, if the function is provided elsewhere, it may be removed
from this class.
The parameters are all of type int
.
A value of -1 for any parameter indicates that the default action
or value for that parameter should be used.
The first two parameters (before
and
after
) specify the number of characters to be used for
the integer part and decimal part of the result respectively, as
defined for {@link #format(int,int)}.
If either of these is -1 (which indicates the default action), the
number of characters used will be exactly as many as are needed for
that part.
The remaining parameters control the use of exponential notation
and rounding. Three (explaces
, exdigits
,
and exform
) control the exponent part of the result.
As before, the default action for any of these parameters may be
selected by using the value -1.
explaces
must be a positive number; it sets the number
of places (digits after the sign of the exponent) to be used for
any exponent part, the default (when explaces
is -1)
being to use as many as are needed.
If explaces
is not -1, space is always reserved for
an exponent; if one is not needed (for example, if the exponent
will be 0) then explaces
+2 blanks are appended to the
result.
If explaces
is not -1 and is not large enough to
contain the exponent, an exception is thrown.
exdigits
sets the trigger point for use of exponential
notation. If, before any rounding, the number of places needed
before the decimal point exceeds exdigits
, or if the
absolute value of the result is less than 0.000001
,
then exponential form will be used, provided that
exdigits
was specified.
When exdigits
is -1, exponential notation will never
be used. If 0 is specified for exdigits
, exponential
notation is always used unless the exponent would be 0.
exform
sets the form for exponential notation (if
needed).
It may be either {@link MathContext#SCIENTIFIC} or
{@link MathContext#ENGINEERING}.
If the latter, engineering, form is requested, up to three digits
(plus sign, if negative) may be needed for the integer part of the
result (before
). Otherwise, only one digit (plus
sign, if negative) is needed.
Finally, the sixth argument, exround
, selects the
rounding algorithm to be used, and must be one of the values
indicated by a public constant in the {@link MathContext} class
whose name starts with ROUND_
.
The default (ROUND_HALF_UP
) may also be selected by
using the value -1, as before.
The special value MathContext.ROUND_UNNECESSARY
may be
used to detect whether non-zero digits are discarded -- if
exround
has this value than if non-zero digits would
be discarded (rounded) during formatting then an
ArithmeticException
is thrown.
Parameters: before The int
specifying the number of places
before the decimal point.
Use -1 for 'as many as are needed'. after The int
specifying the number of places
after the decimal point.
Use -1 for 'as many as are needed'. explaces The int
specifying the number of places
to be used for any exponent.
Use -1 for 'as many as are needed'. exdigits The int
specifying the trigger
(digits before the decimal point) which if
exceeded causes exponential notation to be used.
Use 0 to force exponential notation.
Use -1 to force plain notation (no exponential
notation). exformint The int
specifying the form of
exponential notation to be used
({@link MathContext#SCIENTIFIC} or
{@link MathContext#ENGINEERING}). exround The int
specifying the rounding mode
to use.
Use -1 for the default, {@link MathContext#ROUND_HALF_UP}.
Returns: A String
representing this
BigDecimal

specified parameters
Throws: ArithmeticException if the number cannot be laid out as requested. IllegalArgumentException if a parameter is out of range.
