public class BigDecimal

Immutable, arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers. A
BigDecimal
consists of an arbitrary precision integer
unscaled value
and a 32-bit integer
scale
. If zero or positive, the scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. If negative, the unscaled value of the number is multiplied by ten to the power of the negation of the scale. The value of the number represented by the
BigDecimal
is therefore
(unscaledValue × 10
-scale
)
.
The
BigDecimal
class provides operations for arithmetic, scale manipulation, rounding, comparison, hashing, and format conversion. The
toString()
method provides a canonical representation of a
BigDecimal
.
The
BigDecimal
class gives its user complete control over rounding behavior. If no rounding mode is specified and the exact result cannot be represented, an exception is thrown; otherwise, calculations can be carried out to a chosen precision and rounding mode by supplying an appropriate
MathContext
object to the operation. In either case, eight rounding modes are provided for the control of rounding. Using the integer fields in this class (such as
ROUND_HALF_UP
) to represent rounding mode is largely obsolete; the enumeration values of the
RoundingMode
enum
, (such as
RoundingMode.HALF_UP
) should be used instead.
When a
MathContext
object is supplied with a precision setting of 0 (for example,
MathContext.UNLIMITED
), arithmetic operations are exact, as are the arithmetic methods which take no
MathContext
object. (This is the only behavior that was supported in releases prior to
5.)
1.5.)
As a corollary of computing the exact result, the rounding mode setting of a
MathContext
object with a precision setting of 0 is not used and thus irrelevant. In the case of divide, the exact quotient could have an infinitely long decimal expansion; for example, 1 divided by 3. If the quotient has a nonterminating decimal expansion and the operation is specified to return an exact result, an
ArithmeticException
is thrown. Otherwise, the exact result of the division is returned, as done for other operations.
When the precision setting is not 0, the rules of
BigDecimal
arithmetic are broadly compatible with selected modes of operation of the arithmetic defined in ANSI X3.274-1996 and ANSI X3.274-1996/AM 1-2000 (section 7.4). Unlike those standards,
BigDecimal
includes many rounding modes, which were mandatory for division in
BigDecimal
releases prior to
5.
1.5.
Any conflicts between these ANSI standards and the
BigDecimal
specification are resolved in favor of
BigDecimal
.
Since the same numerical value can have different representations (with different scales), the rules of arithmetic and rounding must specify both the numerical result and the scale used in the result's representation.
In general the rounding modes and precision setting determine how operations return results with a limited number of digits when the exact result has more digits (perhaps infinitely many in the case of division) than the number of digits returned. First, the total number of digits to return is specified by the
MathContext
's
precision
setting; this determines the result's
precision
. The digit count starts from the leftmost nonzero digit of the exact result. The rounding mode determines how any discarded trailing digits affect the returned result.
For all arithmetic operators , the operation is carried out as though an exact intermediate result were first calculated and then rounded to the number of digits specified by the precision setting (if necessary), using the selected rounding mode. If the exact result is not returned, some digit positions of the exact result are discarded. When rounding increases the magnitude of the returned result, it is possible for a new digit position to be created by a carry propagating to a leading "9" digit. For example, rounding the value 999.9 to three digits rounding up would be numerically equal to one thousand, represented as 100×10
1
. In such cases, the new "1" is the leading digit position of the returned result.
Besides a logical exact result, each arithmetic operation has a preferred scale for representing a result. The preferred scale for each operation is listed in the table below.
Preferred Scales for Results of Arithmetic Operations
Operation |
Preferred Scale of Result |
Add |
max(addend.scale(), augend.scale()) |
Subtract |
max(minuend.scale(), subtrahend.scale()) |
Multiply |
multiplier.scale() + multiplicand.scale() |
Divide |
dividend.scale() - divisor.scale() |
These scales are the ones used by the methods which return exact arithmetic results; except that an exact divide may have to use a larger scale since the exact result may have more digits. For example,
1/32
is
0.03125
.
Before rounding, the scale of the logical exact intermediate result is the preferred scale for that operation. If the exact numerical result cannot be represented in precision digits, rounding selects the set of digits to return and the scale of the result is reduced from the scale of the intermediate result to the least scale which can represent the precision digits actually returned. If the exact result can be represented with at most precision digits, the representation of the result with the scale closest to the preferred scale is returned. In particular, an exactly representable quotient may be represented in fewer than precision digits by removing trailing zeros and decreasing the scale. For example, rounding to three digits using the
floor
rounding mode,
19/100 = 0.19 // integer=19, scale=2
but
21/110 = 0.190 // integer=190, scale=3
Note that for add, subtract, and multiply, the reduction in scale will equal the number of digit positions of the exact result which are discarded. If the rounding causes a carry propagation to create a new high-order digit position, an additional digit of the result is discarded than when no new digit position is created.
Other methods may have slightly different rounding semantics. For example, the result of the
pow
method using the
specified algorithm
can occasionally differ from the rounded mathematical result by more than one unit in the last place, one
ulp
.
Two types of operations are provided for manipulating the scale of a
BigDecimal
: scaling/rounding operations and decimal point motion operations. Scaling/rounding operations (
setScale
and
round
) return a
BigDecimal
whose value is approximately (or exactly) equal to that of the operand, but whose scale or precision is the specified value; that is, they increase or decrease the precision of the stored number with minimal effect on its value. Decimal point motion operations (
movePointLeft
and
movePointRight
) return a
BigDecimal
created from the operand by moving the decimal point a specified distance in the specified direction.
For the sake of brevity and clarity, pseudo-code is used throughout the descriptions of
BigDecimal
methods. The pseudo-code expression
(i + j)
is shorthand for "a
BigDecimal
whose value is that of the
BigDecimal
i
added to that of the
BigDecimal
j
." The pseudo-code expression
(i == j)
is shorthand for "
true
if and only if the
BigDecimal
i
represents the same value as the
BigDecimal
j
." Other pseudo-code expressions are interpreted similarly. Square brackets are used to represent the particular
BigInteger
and scale pair defining a
BigDecimal
value; for example [19, 2] is the
BigDecimal
numerically equal to 0.19 having a scale of 2.
Note: care should be exercised if
BigDecimal
objects are used as keys in a
SortedMap
or elements in a
SortedSet
since
BigDecimal
's
natural ordering
is
inconsistent with equals
. See
Comparable
,
SortedMap
or
SortedSet
for more information.
All methods and constructors for this class throw
NullPointerException
when passed a
null
object reference for any input parameter.

The fraction consists of a decimal point followed by zero or more decimal digits. The string must contain at least one digit in either the integer or the fraction. The number formed by the sign, the integer and the fraction is referred to as the
significand
.
The exponent consists of the character
'e'
(
'\u0075'
) or
'E'
(
'\u0045'
) followed by one or more decimal digits. The value of the exponent must lie between -
Integer.MAX_VALUE
(
Integer.MIN_VALUE
+1) and
Integer.MAX_VALUE
, inclusive.

any character for which
Character.isDigit(char)
returns

, including 0, 1, 2 ...
The scale of the returned
BigDecimal
will be the number of digits in the fraction, or zero if the string contains no decimal point, subject to adjustment for any exponent; if the string contains an exponent, the exponent is subtracted from the scale. The value of the resulting scale must lie between
Integer.MIN_VALUE
and
Integer.MAX_VALUE
, inclusive.
The character-to-digit mapping is provided by
Character.digit(char, int)
set to convert to radix 10. The String may not contain any extraneous characters (whitespace, for example).
Examples:
The value of the returned
BigDecimal
is equal to
significand

. For each string on the left, the resulting representation [

] is shown on the right.

Note: For values other than
float
and
double
NaN and ±Infinity, this constructor is compatible with the values returned by
Float.toString(float)
and
Double.toString(double)
. This is generally the preferred way to convert a
float
or
double
into a BigDecimal, as it doesn't suffer from the unpredictability of the
BigDecimal(double)
constructor.
-
Parameters:
-
val - String representation of
BigDecimal
.
-
Throws:
-
NumberFormatException
- if
val
is not a valid representation of a
BigDecimal
.
BigDecimal
public BigDecimal(String val,
MathContext mc)
-
Translates the string representation of a
BigDecimal
into a
BigDecimal
, accepting the same strings as the
BigDecimal(String)
constructor, with rounding according to the context settings.
-
Parameters:
-
val - string representation of a
BigDecimal
.
-
mc - the context to use.
-
Throws:
-
ArithmeticException
- if the result is inexact but the rounding mode is
UNNECESSARY
.
-
NumberFormatException
- if
val
is not a valid representation of a BigDecimal.
-
Since:
-
1.5
BigDecimal
public BigDecimal(double val)
-
Translates a
double
into a
BigDecimal
which is the exact decimal representation of the
double
's binary floating-point value. The scale of the returned
BigDecimal
is the smallest value such that
(10
scale
× val)
is an integer.
Notes:
-
The results of this constructor can be somewhat unpredictable. One might assume that writing
new BigDecimal(0.1)
in Java creates a
BigDecimal
which is exactly equal to 0.1 (an unscaled value of 1, with a scale of 1), but it is actually equal to 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625. This is because 0.1 cannot be represented exactly as a
double
(or, for that matter, as a binary fraction of any finite length). Thus, the value that is being passed
in
to the constructor is not exactly equal to 0.1, appearances notwithstanding.
-
The
String
constructor, on the other hand, is perfectly predictable: writing
new BigDecimal("0.1")
creates a
BigDecimal
which is
exactly
equal to 0.1, as one would expect. Therefore, it is generally recommended that the
String
constructor
be used in preference to this one.
-
When a
double
must be used as a source for a
BigDecimal
, note that this constructor provides an exact conversion; it does not give the same result as converting the
double
to a
String
using the
Double.toString(double)
method and then using the
BigDecimal(String)
constructor. To get that result, use the
static
valueOf(double)
method.
-
Parameters:
-
val -
double
value to be converted to
BigDecimal
.
-
Throws:
-
NumberFormatException
- if
val

In general, the returned numerical value is within two ulps of the exact numerical value for the chosen precision. Note that future releases may use a different algorithm with a decreased allowable error bound and increased allowable exponent range.

and
n < 0
-
mc.precision > 0

-
if
n
is zero,
ONE
is returned even if
this
is zero, otherwise
-
if
n
is positive, the result is calculated via the repeated squaring technique into a single accumulator. The individual multiplications with the accumulator use the same math context settings as in
mc
except for a precision increased to

setScale
public BigDecimal setScale(int newScale)
-
Returns a
BigDecimal
whose scale is the specified value, and whose value is numerically equal to this
BigDecimal
's. Throws an
ArithmeticException
if this is not possible.
This call is typically used to increase the scale, in which case it is guaranteed that there exists a
BigDecimal
of the specified scale and the correct value. The call can also be used to reduce the scale if the caller knows that the
BigDecimal
has sufficiently many zeros at the end of its fractional part (i.e., factors of ten in its integer value) to allow for the rescaling without changing its value.
This method returns the same result as the two-argument versions of
setScale
, but saves the caller the trouble of specifying a rounding mode in cases where it is irrelevant.

compareTo
public int compareTo(BigDecimal val)
-
Compares this
BigDecimal
with the specified
BigDecimal
. Two
BigDecimal
objects that are equal in value but have a different scale (like 2.0 and 2.00) are considered equal by this method. This method is provided in preference to individual methods for each of the six boolean comparison operators (<, ==, >, >=, !=, <=). The suggested idiom for performing these comparisons is:
(x.compareTo(y)
<
op
>
0)
, where <
op
> is one of the six comparison operators.

equals
public boolean equals(Object x)
-
Compares this
BigDecimal

toString
public String toString()
-
Returns the string representation of this
BigDecimal
, using scientific notation if an exponent is needed.
A standard canonical string form of the
BigDecimal
is created as though by the following steps: first, the absolute value of the unscaled value of the
BigDecimal
is converted to a string in base ten using the characters
'0'
through
'9'
with no leading zeros (except if its value is zero, in which case a single
'0'
character is used).
Next, an
adjusted exponent
is calculated; this is the negated scale, plus the number of characters in the converted unscaled value, less one. That is,
-scale+(ulength-1)
, where
ulength
is the length of the absolute value of the unscaled value in decimal digits (its
precision
).
If the scale is greater than or equal to zero and the adjusted exponent is greater than or equal to
-6
, the number will be converted to a character form without using exponential notation. In this case, if the scale is zero then no decimal point is added and if the scale is positive a decimal point will be inserted with the scale specifying the number of characters to the right of the decimal point.
'0'
characters are added to the left of the converted unscaled value as necessary. If no character precedes the decimal point after this insertion then a conventional
'0'
character is prefixed.
Otherwise (that is, if the scale is negative, or the adjusted exponent is less than
-6
), the number will be converted to a character form using exponential notation. In this case, if the converted
BigInteger
has more than one digit a decimal point is inserted after the first digit. An exponent in character form is then suffixed to the converted unscaled value (perhaps with inserted decimal point); this comprises the letter
'E'
followed immediately by the adjusted exponent converted to a character form. The latter is in base ten, using the characters
'0'
through
'9'
with no leading zeros, and is always prefixed by a sign character
'-'
(
'\u002D'
) if the adjusted exponent is negative,
'+'
(
'\u002B'
) otherwise).
Finally, the entire string is prefixed by a minus sign character
'-'
(
'\u002D'
) if the unscaled value is less than zero. No sign character is prefixed if the unscaled value is zero or positive.
Examples:
For each representation [
unscaled value
,
scale
] on the left, the resulting string is shown on the right.
[123,0] "123"
[-123,0] "-123"
[123,-1] "1.23E+3"
[123,-3] "1.23E+5"
[123,1] "12.3"
[123,5] "0.00123"
[123,10] "1.23E-8"
[-123,12] "-1.23E-10"
Notes:
-
There is a one-to-one mapping between the distinguishable
BigDecimal
values and the result of this conversion. That is, every distinguishable
BigDecimal
value (unscaled value and scale) has a unique string representation as a result of using
toString
. If that string representation is converted back to a
BigDecimal
using the
BigDecimal(String)
constructor, then the original value will be recovered.
-
The string produced for a given number is always the same; it is not affected by locale. This means that it can be used as a canonical string representation for exchanging decimal data, or as a key for a Hashtable, etc. Locale-sensitive number formatting and parsing is handled by the
NumberFormat
class and its subclasses.
-
The
toEngineeringString()
method may be used for presenting numbers with exponents in engineering notation, and the
setScale
method may be used for rounding a
BigDecimal
so it has a known number of digits after the decimal point.
-
The digit-to-character mapping provided by
Character.forDigit
is used.

toEngineeringString
public String toEngineeringString()
-
Returns a string representation of this
BigDecimal
, using engineering notation if an exponent is needed.
Returns a string that represents the
BigDecimal
as described in the
toString()
method, except that if exponential notation is used, the power of ten is adjusted to be a multiple of three (engineering notation) such that the integer part of nonzero values will be in the range 1 through 999. If exponential notation is used for zero values, a decimal point and one or two fractional zero digits are used so that the scale of the zero value is preserved. Note that unlike the output of
toString()
, the output of this method is not guaranteed to recover the same [integer, scale] pair of this
BigDecimal
if the output string is converting back to a
BigDecimal
using the
string constructor
. The result of this method meets the weaker constraint of always producing a numerically equal result from applying the string constructor to the method's output.

Returns:
-
string representation of this
BigDecimal
, using engineering notation if an exponent is needed.

Since:

toPlainString
public String toPlainString()
-
Returns a string representation of this
BigDecimal
without an exponent field. For values with a positive scale, the number of digits to the right of the decimal point is used to indicate scale. For values with a zero or negative scale, the resulting string is generated as if the value were converted to a numerically equal value with zero scale and as if all the trailing zeros of the zero scale value were present in the result. The entire string is prefixed by a minus sign character '-' (
'\u002D'
) if the unscaled value is less than zero. No sign character is prefixed if the unscaled value is zero or positive. Note that if the result of this method is passed to the
string constructor
, only the numerical value of this
BigDecimal
will necessarily be recovered; the representation of the new
BigDecimal
may have a different scale. In particular, if this
BigDecimal
has a positive scale, the string resulting from this method will have a scale of zero when processed by the string constructor. (This method behaves analogously to the
toString
method in 1.4 and earlier releases.)
