Don't Use double Constructor on BigDecimal
August 1, 2013
Avoid using the BigDecimal constructor in Java that takes a double:
public class Test { public static void main(String[] argv) { double lDouble = 123.45; System.out.println(lDouble); BigDecimal lDoubleBigDecimal = new BigDecimal(lDouble); System.out.println(lDoubleBigDecimal); BigDecimal lStringBigDecimal = new BigDecimal(Double.toString(lDouble)); System.out.println(lStringBigDecimal); } }
Running this program gave me the following output:
123.45 123.4500000000000028421709430404007434844970703125 123.45
