Java.math.BigDecimal.divideAndRemainder() Method
Description
The java.math.BigDecimal.divideAndRemainder(BigDecimal divisor) returns a two-element BigDecimal array containing the result of divideToIntegralValue followed by the result of remainder on the two operands calculated with rounding according to the context settings.
If both the integer quotient and remainder are needed, this method is faster than using the divideToIntegralValue and remainder methods separately because the division need only be carried out once.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.math.BigDecimal.divideAndRemainder() method.
public BigDecimal[] divideAndRemainder(BigDecimal divisor)
Parameters
divisor − Value by which this BigDecimal is to be divided, and the remainder computed.
Return Value
This method returns a two element BigDecimal array: the quotient (the result of divideToIntegralValue) is the initial element and the remainder is the final element.
Exception
ArithmeticException − If divisor == 0.
Example
The following example shows the usage of math.BigDecimal.divideAndRemainder() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.math.*; public class BigDecimalDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create 2 BigDecimal objects BigDecimal bg1, bg2; bg1 = new BigDecimal("143.145"); bg2 = new BigDecimal("10.01"); // BigDecimal array bg stores result of bg1/bg2 BigDecimal bg[] = bg1.divideAndRemainder(bg2); // print quotient and remainder System.out.println("Division result"); System.out.println("Quotient is " + bg[0] ); System.out.println("Remainder is " + bg[1] ); } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Division result Quotient is 14.0 Remainder is 3.005
