Subtract one BigDecimal from another BigDecimal in Java
Use the subtract method to subtract one BigDecimal to another in Java. TheBigDecimal.subtract(BigDecimal val) returns a BigDecimal whose value is (this - subtrahend), and whose scale is max(this.scale(), subtrahend.scale()). Here, “val” is the value to be subtracted from this BigDecimal.
The following is an example −
Example
import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
BigDecimal val1 = new BigDecimal("375789755.345778656");
BigDecimal val2 = new BigDecimal("625678755.155778656");
System.out.println("Value 1 : "+val1);
System.out.println("Value 2 : "+val2);
// subtract
val2 = val2.subtract(val1);
System.out.println("Result (Subtraction) = "+val2);
}
}Output
Value 1 : 375789755.345778656 Value 2 : 625678755.155778656 Result (Subtraction) = 249888999.810000000
