java.math.BigDecimal.valueOf(long unscaledVal, int scale) Method
Description
The java.math.BigDecimal.valueOf(long unscaledVal, int scale) translates a long unscaled value and an int scale into a BigDecimal. This "static factory method" is provided in preference to a (long, int) constructor because it allows for reuse of frequently used BigDecimal values.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.math.BigDecimal.valueOf() method.
public static BigDecimal valueOf(long unscaledVal, int scale)
Parameters
unscaledVal − Unscaled value of the BigDecimal.
scale − Scale of the BigDecimal.
Return Value
This method returns a BigDecimal whose value is (unscaledVal × 10-scale).
Exception
NA
Example
The following example shows the usage of math.BigDecimal.valueOf() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.math.*; public class BigDecimalDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a BigDecimal object BigDecimal bg; // create a Long Object Long l = new Long("12345678"); // assign the bigdecimal value of l to bg // scale is 4 bg = BigDecimal.valueOf(l, 4); String str = "The Value of BigDecimal using scale 4 is " + bg; // print bg value System.out.println( str ); } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
The Value of BigDecimal using scale 4 is 1234.5678
