package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.math.*;

public class BigDecimalDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a BigDecimal object
      BigDecimal bg;

      // create a Double Object
      Double d = new Double("123.45678");

      // assign the bigdecimal value of d to bg
      // static method is called using class name
      bg = BigDecimal.valueOf(d);

      String str = "The Double After Conversion to BigDecimal is " + bg;

      // print bg value
      System.out.println( str );
