Class scala.math.BigDecimal

Companion object BigDecimal

final class BigDecimal extends ScalaNumber with ScalaNumericConversions with Serializable with Ordered[BigDecimal]

BigDecimal represents decimal floating-point numbers of arbitrary precision. By default, the precision approximately matches that of IEEE 128-bit floating point numbers (34 decimal digits, HALF_EVEN rounding mode). Within the range of IEEE binary128 numbers, BigDecimal will agree with BigInt for both equality and hash codes (and will agree with primitive types as well). Beyond that range--numbers with more than 4934 digits when written out in full--the hashCode of BigInt and BigDecimal is allowed to diverge due to difficulty in efficiently computing both the decimal representation in BigDecimal and the binary representation in BigInt.

When creating a BigDecimal from a Double or Float, care must be taken as the binary fraction representation of Double and Float does not easily convert into a decimal representation. Three explicit schemes are available for conversion. BigDecimal.decimal will convert the floating-point number to a decimal text representation, and build a BigDecimal based on that. BigDecimal.binary will expand the binary fraction to the requested or default precision. BigDecimal.exact will expand the binary fraction to the full number of digits, thus producing the exact decimal value corresponding to the binary fraction of that floating-point number. BigDecimal equality matches the decimal expansion of Double: BigDecimal.decimal(0.1) == 0.1. Note that since 0.1f != 0.1, the same is not true for Float. Instead, 0.1f == BigDecimal.decimal((0.1f).toDouble).

To test whether a BigDecimal number can be converted to a Double or Float and then back without loss of information by using one of these methods, test with isDecimalDouble, isBinaryDouble, or isExactDouble or the corresponding Float versions. Note that BigInt's isValidDouble will agree with isExactDouble, not the isDecimalDouble used by default.

BigDecimal uses the decimal representation of binary floating-point numbers to determine equality and hash codes. This yields different answers than conversion between Long and Double values, where the exact form is used. As always, since floating-point is a lossy representation, it is advisable to take care when assuming identity will be maintained across multiple conversions.

BigDecimal maintains a MathContext that determines the rounding that is applied to certain calculations. In most cases, the value of the BigDecimal is also rounded to the precision specified by the MathContext. To create a BigDecimal with a different precision than its MathContext, use new BigDecimal(new java.math.BigDecimal(...), mc). Rounding will be applied on those mathematical operations that can dramatically change the number of digits in a full representation, namely multiplication, division, and powers. The left-hand argument's MathContext always determines the degree of rounding, if any, and is the one propagated through arithmetic operations that do not apply rounding themselves.

Value Members

final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

Test two objects for inequality.

returns

true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

final def ##(): Int

Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

returns

a hash value consistent with ==

def abs: BigDecimal

def apply(mc: MathContext): BigDecimal

final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

returns

the receiver object.

Exceptions thrown

ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

val bigDecimal: java.math.BigDecimal

def byteValue(): Byte

Converts this BigDecimal to a Byte. If the BigDecimal is too big to fit in a Byte, only the low-order 8 bits are returned. Note that this conversion can lose information about the overall magnitude of the BigDecimal value as well as return a result with the opposite sign.

final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false. null.eq(null) returns true.

When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

returns

true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

def hashCode(): Int

Returns the hash code for this BigDecimal. Note that this does not merely use the underlying java object's hashCode because we compare BigDecimals with compareTo which deems 2 == 2.00, whereas in java these are unequal with unequal hashCodes. These hash codes agree with BigInt for whole numbers up ~4934 digits (the range of IEEE 128 bit floating point). Beyond this, hash codes will disagree; this prevents the explicit representation of the BigInt form for BigDecimal values with large exponents.

returns

the hash code value for this object.

Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics.

def unifiedPrimitiveEquals(x: Any): Boolean

Should only be called after all known non-primitive types have been excluded. This method won't dispatch anywhere else after checking against the primitives to avoid infinite recursion between equals and this on unknown "Number" variants.

Additionally, this should only be called if the numeric type is happy to be converted to Long, Float, and Double. If for instance a BigInt much larger than the Long range is sent here, it will claim equality with whatever Long is left in its lower 64 bits. Or a BigDecimal with more precision than Double can hold: same thing. There's no way given the interface available here to prevent this error.

val range = partial by 0.01                // now a NumericRange
val range2 = BigDecimal(0) to 1.0 by 0.01  // all at once of course is fine too
