  33  * Immutable, arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers.  A
  34  * {@code BigDecimal} consists of an arbitrary precision integer
  35  * <i>unscaled value</i> and a 32-bit integer <i>scale</i>.  If zero
  36  * or positive, the scale is the number of digits to the right of the
  37  * decimal point.  If negative, the unscaled value of the number is
  38  * multiplied by ten to the power of the negation of the scale.  The
  39  * value of the number represented by the {@code BigDecimal} is
  40  * therefore <tt>(unscaledValue &times; 10<sup>-scale</sup>)</tt>.
  41  *
  42  * <p>The {@code BigDecimal} class provides operations for
  43  * arithmetic, scale manipulation, rounding, comparison, hashing, and
  44  * format conversion.  The {@link #toString} method provides a
  45  * canonical representation of a {@code BigDecimal}.
  46  *
  47  * <p>The {@code BigDecimal} class gives its user complete control
  48  * over rounding behavior.  If no rounding mode is specified and the
  49  * exact result cannot be represented, an exception is thrown;
  50  * otherwise, calculations can be carried out to a chosen precision
  51  * and rounding mode by supplying an appropriate {@link MathContext}
  52  * object to the operation.  In either case, eight <em>rounding
  53  * modes</em> are provided for the control of rounding.  Using the
  54  * integer fields in this class (such as {@link #ROUND_HALF_UP}) to
  55  * represent rounding mode is largely obsolete; the enumeration values
  56  * of the {@code RoundingMode} {@code enum}, (such as {@link
  57  * RoundingMode#HALF_UP}) should be used instead.
  58  *
  59  * <p>When a {@code MathContext} object is supplied with a precision
  60  * setting of 0 (for example, {@link MathContext#UNLIMITED}),
  61  * arithmetic operations are exact, as are the arithmetic methods
  62  * which take no {@code MathContext} object.  (This is the only
  63  * behavior that was supported in releases prior to 5.)  As a
  64  * corollary of computing the exact result, the rounding mode setting
  65  * of a {@code MathContext} object with a precision setting of 0 is
  66  * not used and thus irrelevant.  In the case of divide, the exact
  67  * quotient could have an infinitely long decimal expansion; for
  68  * example, 1 divided by 3.  If the quotient has a nonterminating
  69  * decimal expansion and the operation is specified to return an exact
  70  * result, an {@code ArithmeticException} is thrown.  Otherwise, the
  71  * exact result of the division is returned, as done for other
  72  * operations.
  73  *
  74  * <p>When the precision setting is not 0, the rules of
  75  * {@code BigDecimal} arithmetic are broadly compatible with selected
  76  * modes of operation of the arithmetic defined in ANSI X3.274-1996
  77  * and ANSI X3.274-1996/AM 1-2000 (section 7.4).  Unlike those
  78  * standards, {@code BigDecimal} includes many rounding modes, which
  79  * were mandatory for division in {@code BigDecimal} releases prior
  80  * to 5.  Any conflicts between these ANSI standards and the
  81  * {@code BigDecimal} specification are resolved in favor of
  82  * {@code BigDecimal}.
  83  *
  84  * <p>Since the same numerical value can have different
  85  * representations (with different scales), the rules of arithmetic
  86  * and rounding must specify both the numerical result and the scale
  87  * used in the result's representation.
  88  *
  89  *
  90  * <p>In general the rounding modes and precision setting determine
  91  * how operations return results with a limited number of digits when
  92  * the exact result has more digits (perhaps infinitely many in the
  93  * case of division) than the number of digits returned.
  94  *
  95  * First, the
  96  * total number of digits to return is specified by the
  97  * {@code MathContext}'s {@code precision} setting; this determines
  98  * the result's <i>precision</i>.  The digit count starts from the
  99  * leftmost nonzero digit of the exact result.  The rounding mode
 100  * determines how any discarded trailing digits affect the returned
 101  * result.
 102  *
 103  * <p>For all arithmetic operators , the operation is carried out as
 104  * though an exact intermediate result were first calculated and then
 105  * rounded to the number of digits specified by the precision setting
 106  * (if necessary), using the selected rounding mode.  If the exact
 107  * result is not returned, some digit positions of the exact result
 108  * are discarded.  When rounding increases the magnitude of the
 109  * returned result, it is possible for a new digit position to be
 110  * created by a carry propagating to a leading {@literal "9"} digit.
 111  * For example, rounding the value 999.9 to three digits rounding up
 112  * would be numerically equal to one thousand, represented as
 113  * 100&times;10<sup>1</sup>.  In such cases, the new {@literal "1"} is
 114  * the leading digit position of the returned result.
 115  *
 116  * <p>Besides a logical exact result, each arithmetic operation has a
 117  * preferred scale for representing a result.  The preferred
 118  * scale for each operation is listed in the table below.
 119  *
 120  * <table border>
 121  * <caption top><h3>Preferred Scales for Results of Arithmetic Operations
 122  * </h3></caption>
 123  * <tr><th>Operation</th><th>Preferred Scale of Result</th></tr>
 124  * <tr><td>Add</td><td>max(addend.scale(), augend.scale())</td>
 125  * <tr><td>Subtract</td><td>max(minuend.scale(), subtrahend.scale())</td>
 126  * <tr><td>Multiply</td><td>multiplier.scale() + multiplicand.scale()</td>
 127  * <tr><td>Divide</td><td>dividend.scale() - divisor.scale()</td>
 128  * </table>
 129  *
 130  * These scales are the ones used by the methods which return exact
 131  * arithmetic results; except that an exact divide may have to use a
 132  * larger scale since the exact result may have more digits.  For
 133  * example, {@code 1/32} is {@code 0.03125}.
 134  *
 135  * <p>Before rounding, the scale of the logical exact intermediate
 136  * result is the preferred scale for that operation.  If the exact
 137  * numerical result cannot be represented in {@code precision}
 138  * digits, rounding selects the set of digits to return and the scale
 139  * of the result is reduced from the scale of the intermediate result
 140  * to the least scale which can represent the {@code precision}
 141  * digits actually returned.  If the exact result can be represented
 142  * with at most {@code precision} digits, the representation
 143  * of the result with the scale closest to the preferred scale is
 144  * returned.  In particular, an exactly representable quotient may be
 145  * represented in fewer than {@code precision} digits by removing
 146  * trailing zeros and decreasing the scale.  For example, rounding to
 147  * three digits using the {@linkplain RoundingMode#FLOOR floor}
 148  * rounding mode, <br>
 149  *
 150  * {@code 19/100 = 0.19   // integer=19,  scale=2} <br>
 151  *
 152  * but<br>
 153  *
 154  * {@code 21/110 = 0.190  // integer=190, scale=3} <br>
 155  *
 156  * <p>Note that for add, subtract, and multiply, the reduction in
 157  * scale will equal the number of digit positions of the exact result
 158  * which are discarded. If the rounding causes a carry propagation to
 159  * create a new high-order digit position, an additional digit of the
 160  * result is discarded than when no new digit position is created.
 161  *
 162  * <p>Other methods may have slightly different rounding semantics.
 163  * For example, the result of the {@code pow} method using the
 164  * {@linkplain #pow(int, MathContext) specified algorithm} can
 165  * occasionally differ from the rounded mathematical result by more
 166  * than one unit in the last place, one <i>{@linkplain #ulp() ulp}</i>.
 167  *
 168  * <p>Two types of operations are provided for manipulating the scale
 169  * of a {@code BigDecimal}: scaling/rounding operations and decimal
 170  * point motion operations.  Scaling/rounding operations ({@link
 171  * #setScale setScale} and {@link #round round}) return a
 172  * {@code BigDecimal} whose value is approximately (or exactly) equal
 173  * to that of the operand, but whose scale or precision is the
 174  * specified value; that is, they increase or decrease the precision
 175  * of the stored number with minimal effect on its value.  Decimal
 176  * point motion operations ({@link #movePointLeft movePointLeft} and
 177  * {@link #movePointRight movePointRight}) return a
 178  * {@code BigDecimal} created from the operand by moving the decimal
 179  * point a specified distance in the specified direction.
 180  *
 181  * <p>For the sake of brevity and clarity, pseudo-code is used
 182  * throughout the descriptions of {@code BigDecimal} methods.  The
 183  * pseudo-code expression {@code (i + j)} is shorthand for "a
 184  * {@code BigDecimal} whose value is that of the {@code BigDecimal}
 185  * {@code i} added to that of the {@code BigDecimal}
 186  * {@code j}." The pseudo-code expression {@code (i == j)} is
 187  * shorthand for "{@code true} if and only if the
 188  * {@code BigDecimal} {@code i} represents the same value as the
 189  * {@code BigDecimal} {@code j}." Other pseudo-code expressions
 190  * are interpreted similarly.  Square brackets are used to represent
 191  * the particular {@code BigInteger} and scale pair defining a
 192  * {@code BigDecimal} value; for example [19, 2] is the
 193  * {@code BigDecimal} numerically equal to 0.19 having a scale of 2.
 194  *
 195  * <p>Note: care should be exercised if {@code BigDecimal} objects
 196  * are used as keys in a {@link java.util.SortedMap SortedMap} or
 197  * elements in a {@link java.util.SortedSet SortedSet} since
 198  * {@code BigDecimal}'s <i>natural ordering</i> is <i>inconsistent
 199  * with equals</i>.  See {@link Comparable}, {@link
 200  * java.util.SortedMap} or {@link java.util.SortedSet} for more
 201  * information.
 202  *
 203  * <p>All methods and constructors for this class throw
 204  * {@code NullPointerException} when passed a {@code null} object
 205  * reference for any input parameter.

 694      * 0.1 (an unscaled value of 1, with a scale of 1), but it is

 697      * This is because 0.1 cannot be represented exactly as a
 698      * {@code double} (or, for that matter, as a binary fraction of
 699      * any finite length).  Thus, the value that is being passed
 700      * <i>in</i> to the constructor is not exactly equal to 0.1,

 704      * The {@code String} constructor, on the other hand, is
 705      * perfectly predictable: writing {@code new BigDecimal("0.1")}
 706      * creates a {@code BigDecimal} which is <i>exactly</i> equal to

2590      *
2591      * <p>A standard canonical string form of the {@code BigDecimal}
2592      * is created as though by the following steps: first, the
2593      * absolute value of the unscaled value of the {@code BigDecimal}
2594      * is converted to a string in base ten using the characters
2595      * {@code '0'} through {@code '9'} with no leading zeros (except
2596      * if its value is zero, in which case a single {@code '0'}
2597      * character is used).
2598      *
2599      * <p>Next, an <i>adjusted exponent</i> is calculated; this is the
2600      * negated scale, plus the number of characters in the converted
2601      * unscaled value, less one.  That is,
2602      * {@code -scale+(ulength-1)}, where {@code ulength} is the
2603      * length of the absolute value of the unscaled value in decimal
2604      * digits (its <i>precision</i>).
2605      *
2606      * <p>If the scale is greater than or equal to zero and the
2607      * adjusted exponent is greater than or equal to {@code -6}, the
2608      * number will be converted to a character form without using
2609      * exponential notation.  In this case, if the scale is zero then
2610      * no decimal point is added and if the scale is positive a
2611      * decimal point will be inserted with the scale specifying the
2612      * number of characters to the right of the decimal point.
2613      * {@code '0'} characters are added to the left of the converted
2614      * unscaled value as necessary.  If no character precedes the
2615      * decimal point after this insertion then a conventional
2616      * {@code '0'} character is prefixed.
2617      *
2618      * <p>Otherwise (that is, if the scale is negative, or the
2619      * adjusted exponent is less than {@code -6}), the number will be
2620      * converted to a character form using exponential notation.  In
2621      * this case, if the converted {@code BigInteger} has more than
2622      * one digit a decimal point is inserted after the first digit.
2623      * An exponent in character form is then suffixed to the converted
2624      * unscaled value (perhaps with inserted decimal point); this
2625      * comprises the letter {@code 'E'} followed immediately by the
2626      * adjusted exponent converted to a character form.  The latter is
2627      * in base ten, using the characters {@code '0'} through
2628      * {@code '9'} with no leading zeros, and is always prefixed by a
2629      * sign character {@code '-'} (<tt>'&#92;u002D'</tt>) if the
2630      * adjusted exponent is negative, {@code '+'}
2631      * (<tt>'&#92;u002B'</tt>) otherwise).
2632      *
2633      * <p>Finally, the entire string is prefixed by a minus sign
2634      * character {@code '-'} (<tt>'&#92;u002D'</tt>) if the unscaled
2635      * value is less than zero.  No sign character is prefixed if the
2636      * unscaled value is zero or positive.
